Delicious is delicious but very fattening in terms of time. In our “culture of distraction,” it is a fine mind that can stay focused on the original task while swimming in the sea of information. I tried to stick to the task at hand. I explored delicious and got comfortable with various tags. I tried to limit my browsing of sites so I could get back to the task at hand. I’ve gotten somewhat better at right clicking to open links in a new tag which is very useful. I signed up for a delicious account, and imported my bookmarks from Firefox. I even deleted my husbands sports sites from my delicious account. I added sites and tagged them, and even copied descriptive text from the site and pasted it into the descriptions. I created a bundle for Web 2.0. I added the shared tag k12learning20 to several sites. I also added several people to my network (i.e. Shelly, Vicki Davis and just about all recommended. I think I am off to a good start. I will continue to refine as I put the site to practical use in the classroom.
