TAG! You’re Delicious!!

We are Del.icio.us!
How many websites are out there?

We are Del.icio.us!
Let’s play “what if”:
You travel 36 hours to a small town in New Zealand and you are sitting in a Starbucks having coffee and wanting to review the bookmarked sites you used to plan your trip?
OR
More realistically, you travel down the hall to another classroom because you are a a “roving teacher”?
DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR BOOKMARKS?

We are Del.icio.us!
Portable bookmarks are GREAT…
BUT
It gets better……

We are Del.icio.us!
The greatest strength of Delicious is TAGGING .
You can identify a website with words of your own choosing…..
There’s no official taxonomy, no Dewey Decimal system
Referred to as FOLKSONOMY

We are Del.icio.us! TAG Looks like this….. = TAG CLOUD You can embed a BOOKMARKLET into your web browser’s toolbar….

We are Del.icio.us!
Tagging in a social bookmarking world is a very powerful tool to use for searching…..WHY?
You and your network, the Del.icio.us community, can SEARCH using TAGS, keyword, person or popularity

We are Del.icio.us!
AND NOW….
You can “ engage with a community of learners”
You can share your bookmarks with other internet users, colleagues and your learning community

We are Del.icio.us!
You can now find new websites that are considered MOST RELEVANT and CURRENT by other del.icio.us users.
PEERS
COLLEAGUES
FRIENDS
FAMILY
THINKERS IN YOUR CHOSEN FIELD OF STUDY
OTHER LEARNERS

TRUST?
You are responsible for the websites you tag…make sure they are relevant to the topic because a seach of Del.icio.us will turn up ALL available sites.
Spiderman says, “With great power comes great responsibility.”

WEB 2.0
A new world where anyone can contribute their ideas to the online community.

We are Del.icio.us!
Classroom example:
You can give your students an assignment where each tagged page is accompanied by a question (in the description field of the tag box). Students answer the question from reading the website.

We are Del.icio.us!
Departments within a school can create their own department delicious logons…..think about the social studies department having their own resources, tagging convention relevant to their subject area and instant access to specific curriculum.
