Ok, finally back on the web. Now I feel for my students who come in and complain they don't have internet access at home and they could not finish their work. I could rave and rant against ATT for disconnecting my DSL, but I will stop right now since I am way behind in my homework - but glad this is catch up week.
I had heard about delicious but never felt compelled to use it. Frankly, I don't bookmark that much and most of the sites I visit are committed to memory and the ones that are not Google can find in a snap. Maybe Google is good, maybe my keywords are effective, but there is a meeting of the minds between my mind and Google's search engine - the tags in delicious don't work as well for me when trying to find the information I need, perhaps because these don't respond to mathematical algorithms but are just people's doing... so much for common sense.
Still, I see how a teacher could set up a series of sites and provide these to students for research purposes or maybe a creative database of information for groups of students working on certain topics. Definitely some potential here for collaborative online research.
Pagekeeper seems to be a work in progress... it's amazing how little time teachers have to fill in the pages :-)
Well, I guess this takes care of my Thing 10... I am wondering, are we going to visit Stumble upon at some point?
