Assignment 8- A Time for Reflection 2
I like Del.icio.us! It is a great way for me to collaborate with other music teachers. I like how we can share with others and copy them to share with our students. I also like the fact that it can be used by teachers all over the world. This allows me to find new sites that I may not have been using. I plan on using del.icio.us in the future to save all of the sites I use in my classroom. I have already started to tag music store websites. I am also planning on tagging websites that will focus on music advocacy and new advances in music technology. I feel this will be a great resource for me when I am researching a topic or when parents ask about different Internet sources.

Del.icio.us is a great tool. I wish that I had known about it when I was in college. It would have made writing research papers so much easier by making it easy to keep track of sources. I agree with you, Del.icio.us can be used to organize websites that we use in our classes.
I like your idea about using del.icio.us to give parents ideas! I am excited to learn about this site as it seems to be so useful professionally and personally.
Oh sara stoe my comment. I was going to say that i also think that its a great way to keep parents connected. You could put your delicious account name on paper work that goes home so parents can easily stay connected to school sites, extracurricular music sites (with info on outside classes and camps) and other related sites.
Leah o....you are right about having this in college! I am already thinking of more tagging categories. Such as....computer lab lesson ideas!
Once you "discover" del.icio.us, you don't know how you ever lived without it! :-)
One thing I really like about it is the ability to give one site multiple tags. So many sites are good for more than one topic and I even sometimes forgot which folder I put something in before I discovered del.icio.us. This way I can tag something multiple ways which increases the likelihood that I'll be able to find it again easily.
I think it is a great idea to use del.icio.us with the parents. This way there is no confusion about what you want the parents to focus on when researching a topic
Yes, using delicious would have been useful for research papers, but then when I went to college we didn't even have the internet. Yes can you imagine a world with no internet, how did we do it??
I think a blog would work just as well for connecting with parents. Maybe I am too much of a control freak. My blog I can control what goes on it, from Delicious parents could possiblly come upon unwanted content. Not necessarily content you tagged but content someone else tagged, that you linked to.
