Thing 14 Social Bookmarking

Include your Delicious username in this blog post so that others can view the bookmarks that you have chosen to share. Then reflect on how you think social bookmarking can be used in your teaching. Does Delicious seem to be a tool that can enhance your productivity?

My user name for Delicious is librarydragonkb. I was introduced to Delicious several years ago and I just didn't take the time to get an account set up. What a mistake. I would have saved myself a lot of time if I had done this earlier. Did we get some instruction on organizing these in folders? I know my list will get very long. I do need to spend some more time on this but, it will be easy as I will go to a couple of media specialist lists first to see what they have done. They have been using Delicious for a while now. I learn so much from others.

Share your thoughts about tagging. Is tagging a useful way to organize your digital resources and why? What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages? What is important to think about before assigning tags to bookmarks or other Internet content?

I found the suggestions for tagging confusing but after watching the videos and saving some sites it was seemed easy. As I look at my tags I begin to see how the organization is taking place and I will probably go back and edit some of my tags. I am going to look at some of the other Delicious accounts before I add any more sites. I know that I need to think about who might want to use the tags before I assign the tags.
