Thing 14 Delicious

My Delicious username is: eaglesk13.1



I finally know about Delicious! My school media specialist has completed 23 Things before and has been asking for my Delicious username. I just hadn't got there yet! Now, I see why :).

One question I had, "What's the difference between favorites and bookmarks?" I usually use the favorite button so I didn't think I had bookmarked. I searched and found my answer below.

Now the question I haven't answered is, "How do I embed a link without showing the URL address?" I couldn't get an easy answer and did know this at one point, long ago...

Anyway, at school, we don't really share website information unless it comes from our media specialist. Usually, we are all crazy busy and just trying to keep up with everything. I think having Delicious accounts and sharing usernames, it could easily allow us to share good sites.

At school, I also think I have underused the Internet in my teaching. I know that 23 things has definitely motivated me to branch out and try new things! I feel so behind knowing some people have been using Delicious for years!

Does Delicious seem to be a tool that can enhance your productivity? I see it's use, but as I said above, I don't use the Internet for work that much. I love the fact you can see what others are finding which saves time. I also like the "tag" feature to keep things organized. I still think of it as resources for me personally and professionally.

I'd like to explore the use of a lot of the programs we've been learning about (Blogger, Flickr,etc.) more this summer when I have more time. Then, once I get more comfortable with it, I think I'll use it more. I don't even have a class website!
