Thing #13

I have to get to this before it leaves me. I found this while exploring del.icio.us (the social bookmarking site), and if any of you librarians have yet to see it, OMG, it is a must this instant.

Okay, now that I have had time to peruse these social bookmarking sites...and I have to admit that I have been curious about what all the fuss was...this is probably something I will show my teachers but not something I will use myself. For whatever reason, delicious took me longer to figure out than I think it was supposed to, and I'll just stick with my favorites for now. If it gets too long, then maybe I'll take another look. For now, though, I may just use the cloud of frequently used tags...that may be more helpful.

I can see how teachers may want to guide their students here, especially in middle school to use the frequently used tags. High schoolers may want to create their own bookmarks for research assignments.
