Thing 13
I absolutely love the videos put out by the Common Craft show with host Lee. They make everything so easy to understand! Tagging sounds pretty useful - especially when you are switching between classes, using different computers, etc. I was unaware that the delicious website was out there. It will be interesting to explore and use come Thing 14. However - I am worried that I am not going to remember all of my User ID's and passwords by the time I get to Thing 23!!!! Maybe there's a website for that too!??!?! Tagging does seem very useful - especially when you are getting information from several different websites. A definite advantage would be to the traveling teacher - who uses a different computer practically every period. After reading the 13 tips for tagging - it seemed to raise a few flags.... For instance, you are going to have access to a ton of websites that others have tagged - not just your select group of colleagues. The disadvantage I can see to this is having a slight confusion - in Spanish for example, I would tag everything with the appropriate Spanish word. You run into accent mark issues, Spanish vs. English tags, etc.. I did like how tip #12 - allowed you to direct your sites to a specific audience by using "for:username" - that I could see come in handy within my World Language department. I will be interested in seeing how this all plays out in Thing 14.
