Delicious is an amazing resource for teachers and students to
collaborate, share, and to make sure important links and webpages are always
kept safe. Specifically with older students who are familiar with sites such a
twitter, this tool will be very simple to use and navigate through. “Tagging”
works the same way it does on twitter (with or without the hashtag), if your
link is for example about technology you can tag technology and when you’ve
gathered multiples which fall under the same category they will appear in your
“bundle” for technology. Sharing this with students is quit simple, for
example; let students know they have to create a response around the bundle of
information under “Full Moon.” Students will find the bundle and be linked to
multiple other resources and websites where they can continue their research.
This resource is also very compatible with twitter, Google+ and Facebook. I can
be found on delicious as Holly Linklater, and have started a bundle under
technology that is also tagged with #9f61brocktech .
and if you're not full yet
I am so glad that you've explored delicous. You seem to have a good handle on 'tagging' (which is still quite foreign to some) and you seem to hit it on the nail quite nicely with your example of bundles. There is so much information on the internet and having students just "google" without boundaries can be counter productive. What you discuss here can be done effectively at any grade and in any subject.
