It took me a minute to figure out how to use Delicious. I was expecting to add a tool bar at the top of my screen but it didn't. I understand the concept of cloud computing but I'm not big on it yet till they let me create my own work page without adding crap that I don't want to it.
What got me was how to add a tag. I didn't understand the tag concept even after watching the video. I finally figured out that what we have to do is add EDU271 as a tag to the websites we found. When you've found a site you want to add Tag(label) it and you can use that like a Favorite or a better description is a MS Access file. It seems to be an ok resource tool but what I really need is a personalized webpage!
Not the best picture sorry I don't have a lot of time but if you look closely on of the Highlighted TAGs is EDU271. That's how you can find it. Type in EDU271 in your search and you've found all the classes Tags.
Butch,
ReplyDeleteI have delicious added to my tool bar; I just don't know how to add Tags to the tool bar. On my computer I just click My Delicious and I am at my site. I like Delicious because I was able to find information on pre-calculus, to help my daughter. Now will she use the information that I found, "you can bring a horse to water, but you can't make them drink". I am finding out with teenagers, especially girls they just don't want parents advice. I just figured out yesterday how to find other TAGs from our class.
Well...now I'm worried Butch. My impression is that you seem much more computer savvy than me so if you had trouble with Delicious I must have done something wrong. I'm serious. I thought I was pretty brilliant for a minute there. In fact, I just went on and on about how wonderful Delicious is in my blog but now I'm wondering what I did wrong to make it that easy. That's been the case with a lot for me in this course. Ugh!
