I just set up my delicious account, and I think it is one of the tools that I've found the most useful. I like the organization of it. It looks very clean, and uncluttered. The tags are so easy to use. I found that when I transferred over bookmarks from my own favorites list, there were sights that I'd forgotten about. they tend to get buried, and this was a good time to revisit them with school starting soon.
I'm not as comfortable with the social networking part of it. I feel overwhelmed by all the information we're trying to learn, and I just need to spend some more time exploring it. I look forward to seeing what resources other math and special ed. teachers are using.
I travel at school, so I'm not always at the same computer. This is such a cool way to bring my resources with me, or share them with my colleagues.

I agree with you that Delicious is a very useful tool. I have shared my sites with many others.
ReplyDeleteActually, Delicious can help you feel LESS overwhelmed because you can find the best sites more quickly than having to weed through them yourself.
ReplyDeleteIn a sense, people "vote" for their favorite sites in Delicious. Any site that you find will tell you how many other people have bookmarked it. Plus you can read other people's comments and observations about a site (assuming they included them when they bookmarked them) so you can get an idea about what the site contains before you visit it.
