Thing Seventeen

As I have mentioned before I am a news junkie.  I like every news breakin', laptop shootin', bear attackin', bath saltin' crazy story out there.  I know I have a problem, but I'm too busy reading the news to fix it.  Delicious is a great way for me to share and group news together.  I will use the groups that they have already put together such as, entertainment, education, art, history, etc.

I would use this in the classroom by bookmarking several sites about the topic we are discussing.  For example, I plan to teach history, but also economics too.  One project for my economics class is for them to interview and make a PowerPoint on a local entrepreneur.  Using Delicious, I could bookmark some examples of websites that are about local businesses. 

I also like how you can dig into stacks created by others.  I could "friend" some current teachers and see what they are reading and sharing about the teaching profession.  

Hopefully, I will use Delicious to help with my education instead of time wasting.

Seventeen down and six to go!
