Thing 13

Where did you create your account - Diigo or Delicious? Why?
I chose Delicious for now as I had started an account there a few years ago at a CREC workshop. Since I was able to "sync" it with Firefox as well I thought it was a good start. I would like to investigate Diigo upon completion of my remaining 23 things.

Okay, I couldn't wait. I created an account with Diigo. This is awesome! I not only got to add links but an image as well. Then I created a community to which I added some staff but also some imaginary students. My next step is to simulate the experience of the student. What a great way to share resources!! Reminds of the student logins for Discovery Education. I'm hoping I can convince a staff member to share his/her students with me to really try this resource out. Cindy??? Magie? Are you game?

Reflect on how you think social bookmarking can be used in your teaching. This is a phenomenal way for me to share resources with teachers, parents and students. In my role as a resource teacher, I am often asked about good sites for students to use in school and at home and places teachers can access to find lessons, worksheets, and project ideas. Since Newington at this time doesn't have a portal that I can post to this is a great resource for me to use to share "my resources." . I plan to create a CMT section with sites for help with LA and Math that students and parents can use at home as well as sites for other disciplines. The hardest thing for me will be limiting the number of sites and coming up with appropriate tags.
