Thing 15 Delicious
I had already set up a delicious account in a previous course, so I elected to not open one with the gmail address. I added a few things. I had been looking for a list of sayings or phrases from the Bible to have my World Cultures students learn or at least read through once. I believe it will help them with literature later on, as well as World Cultures. All computers at home have died—and my classroom at school is being used for AP Biology. So I decided I would simply work in the middle school second floor lab. Mozilla is not on these computers. I came up to the third floor lab—and found that the podcasts would not open on the student computers. I googled the podcast and found that I could view the creative commons one through teacher share. So, I have spent the morning learning how to get around all the obstacles. I then had issues opening my writeboard (I type everything there first and then put it into the blog) and had to get the e-mail password. (I had the correct address but for some reason it now has 123 in front of it. Oh well.) I also had to get delicious to send me how to change the delicious account password—cause what I thought was the password wasn’t working. Of course, it is in my classroom in my desk—but I couldn’t get in. So, now to delicious. I do use it and I do like the shared materials from my department. I need to get better at tagging things, but I suppose that comes with time. I have leared how to delete an item and retag it and did spend more time browsing. http://del.icio.us/janet.scott
