This is a very useful tool for anyone who uses the web! As a Teacher Librarian students are constantly using the internet as a source of information. Some of the questions raised on Module 7's page were:
How do you find the good stuff?
How do you remember where you found it last week?
What great things are out there that you are yet to discover?
Three very good questions for students and teachers as we walk this technological walk through education in the 21st Century!!
This is an excellent tool in assisting everyone to work their way around the thousands upon thousands of sites that appear when searching for information in any area. It is so easy to spend precious amounts of time 'surfing' the net in search of that 'goldmine' of information. Delicious allows the controlled sharing of 'favourites' at many different levels which can save hours of 'surfing'. This is particularly useful for assisting students when searching for information - especially in the Primary School. Students require assistance to direct them to relevant and safe sites. With this tool, time is spent productively and educationally. It is also an organisational tool - something our students require at all levels.
I can see many benefits to this tool - it is all about sharing - especially when we have the means to do so at our fingertips!
