This is an incredibly useful tool for me as a student, but also as a future teacher! This can be used in a number of ways for students to organize their own educations. In planning an event, someone could find a number of websites that relate to their wedding (for example) like a florist, DJ, limousine services, and catering hall related to a wedding. The planners could tag a number of websites that delineate which particular parts of the wedding a certain website relates to so that they can be easily accessed to compare prices, inquire about dates, etc. The same philosophy goes for writing a research paper or completing a group project. The websites can be saved to a central location online so that the websites can be accessed from anywhere without having to carry around a single computer. This is a more advanced version of using favorites which save only on that one computer. It also allows students in a group the opportunity to do work at home by either having a group delicious account or "friending" each other so that they can view what their group mates are posting as useful websites. It helps the project run more smoothly and students can develop it better.
Glad you found it interesting.
ReplyDeleteCould you think of an application to a teaching staff, or classroom?
It could be used as a source for shared resources for teachers and students. Teachers can share websites with each other with videos, cartoons, lesson plan ideas, etc. Good teaching involves "stealing" from each other. These resources could also be shared with students so that they can explore further and see the process of putting together a lesson everyday.
