Thing 6 Web 2.0 Awards

After reading other's blogs, I decided to try out del.icou.us, because I'm always emailing websites from home to use in my classroom. I do most of my surfing research from home due to the security blocks at school. When I finally find a site I like, it would be great to save them to del.iciou.us to access from anywhere, even on vacation. I also like the way I can add my own tags to it, and save it with hilited text. what great features! In class, I have been making handouts that list specific sites for students to visit. I have a set of classroom computers, and now instead of getting on each computer and setting up bookmarks, or making handouts, I can just set them up in del.iciou.us for students to access interactive art sites that they can go for for assignments, or if they have free time. A few of the sites I used this year in class for students was translating their names into Chinese to include in their artwork, as well as researching Andy Warhol for a computer art assignment.
