Thing 15

Bookmarking on Delicious was not difficult. I'm sure I haven't even scratched the surface of the possible uses for Delicious, but what I have seen is very useful and easy. One thing I used the Delicious bookmarks for was to look up what others have bookmarked for the region we plan to visit on vacation this summer. It turned up some attractions I wouldn't have otherwise heard of.

I used Delicious to look up info for a poetry unit. I searched for an author I liked and found several good sites. I clicked on the box for the # of people who have also bookmarked that site and looked at other educational sites they had bookmarked. It felt a little weird - like I was peeking into their private collection. It was quite helpful, though, because I found several other cool websites.

I made one mistake on the assignment this week. I accidentally clicked to import my bookmarks from Firefox to my Delicious account. This turned out OK because when you import they are private (marked with a lock symbol) until you click share. So no harm was done! I will tag and share these as time allows.
