Be+Delicious

//I chose this tool because it allows me the opportunity to interactively connect with professionals in the field of education and share viable resources that can be used both in and out of the classroom. In addition, as a user, you are able to save your favorite links and collect them in categories which are already pre-selected or ones that you create. It is a tool that I was exposed to a couple of years ago in my technology class, and I have since then expounded on the site for the last few years. I've established some wonderful relationships with other professionals in the field, and received some very useful resources to incorporate in my classroom. I absolutely love this site! If you click on the link below, there is a wonderful video I found via youtube that will guide you through the site, enabling you to begin coordinating your bookmarks and sharing with your friends. Have fun! :)//

//Delicious gives students the opportunity to find and research resources that will be beneficial to them educationally and as a support base. Once an account is established, you are directly linked to others who have found the resources to be viable and helpful to their needs. As bookmarks are set up, you can add tags that are useful to the user in relation to what purpose they serve. Here is my link to my delicious account. These are just a few of the sites that I've bookmarked and are beneficial to me as an educator:// //[]//
