Thing 12

I think it is extremely important to be able to organize all of these amazing digital resources. The Internet is so full of amazing resources, and some that are not so useful as well. When we find something that is useful, it is so important to be able to continue to use it, and to share it with others who can benefit.

I love the fact that I can bookmark something at home and have it at my fingertips at school. I love that I can work on it at home, and a colleague can do the same and then we can share each other's findings with ease. Being someone who has just had MAJOR issues with her PC, and junked it for a brand new iMac, I would be much happier if I had used Delicious.com to organize my bookmarks instead of my browser. You live, you learn. That is why I am taking this online workshop. I feel like I should have known all about these things, but I have not found the time to explore.

I will find this extremely useful to share the great sites I have already learned about here with students, colleagues and friends. I will also find this very useful to assist those students who need some extra help exploring resources that have been deemed appropriate and relevant to the research they need to do. I just need to be very aware of how I tag items, so that they are easily understood.

I should also remind students that they need to give appropriate tags to items so that they are not offensive or misleading.
