Social Bookmarking Journey...........wanna join?
I can’t believe week 3 has nearly passed
so quickly. For the past three weeks, I have learned a large amount of
innovative teaching methods using technology. I love to read all the assignment
articles too. Guess what, I have learned something delicious this week! It is
yummy just as I have a special feast in an Internet party. I found out about an
amazing website called Delicious which is a popular social bookmarking site. What
I like about this site is saving all my favorite web links in my Delicious
account and I can access them anytime on any online computer. I’m so thrilled
to know such a great place to have a collection of my selection websites. I used
a notebook and pieces of sticker paper to note down all the useful web
addresses. Yes, this is my antique way. It’s funny and boring, isn’t it? And
worse, I keep losing those pieces of paper as frankly speaking, I’m not very
good at handling all my paper neat and order. Sometimes when I don’t bother to
tidy my desk, it is always with piles of paper for the corrections (students’
work corrections are one of the priority parts in my school) and of course,
lots and lots of pieces of sticker paper with frequently used website links
instead of family and friends’ photos. Well now, luckily, my work place will be
neat and tidy and no more bits and pieces. Thanks to Delicious and Webskills
2012 for giving me such an amazing tool which is definitely useful for me and makes
me happy. Lately, I’m busy adding all the useful links to my account http://www.delicious.com/zunphyu
and it’s really
fantastic to see all my colleagues’ links. Now I need to do some stacks to
categorize all the related links into groups. I’m so interested in delicious that I found some top tips which will make you more
convenient using Delicious from http://weblogs.about.com/od/socialbookmarking/tp/DeliciousTips.htm.
Here they are:

I’ve found another
interesting link ‘Top 10 ways to use Delicious’ from http://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/top-10-ways-to-use-delicious.html.
So now, I’m going to add my favorite links and discover new and useful sites from
other users’ archives. What about you?
Hi Zun Phyu,
ReplyDeleteWeek 3 has passed so quickly, because we had so much fun. We finally have to turn to the cloud to store our favorite sites. Another way to keep documents, PDFs or any type of files is dropbox.com The only thing is that the free version only lets you save up to 2Gb.
Regards
PS: I love your blog.
Thanks for sharing a good link Nando, I'll try it out. I'm so glad to know all the useful links from all of you. :)
ReplyDeleteI am also in the process of stacking. It is a fantastic tool! I have also gotten into the habit of collecting useful links for my students for each course in senior high school and these I display on the front page of our blog. I wouldn't share links in too many places, it gets confusing. Good luck with the stacking, I will definitely take a look at your links!
ReplyDeleteHi Anna, thanks for dropping by. I think that most of us benefit a lot from Delicious. It is awesome! I look forward to learning more amazing tools and getting fantastic teaching tips and ideas in the coming week.
ReplyDeleteZun Phyu,
ReplyDeleteI feel so identified with having pieces of paper and post-sticks to write down websites I dont want to forget (may be personal or professional reasons). I loved Delicious too.
