Discovery Exercise:
View the 8 minute Del.icio.us tutorial to get a good overview of its features. This is too much trouble. With such poor resources for videos at work, I just do not have time for the video stuff. Lucky for me I had a great presenter at WALE who went over Del.icio.us with us so I feel I have a good idea what it is and how it works.
Take a look around Del.icio.us using the PLCMCL2 account that was created for this exercise. Note: In this account you will find lots of resources that have been highlighted or used throughout the course of the Learning 2.0 program. I looked around this a bit.
Explore the site options and try clicking on a bookmark that has also been bookmarked by a lot of other users. Can you see the comments they added about this bookmark or the tags that they used to categorize this reference? I read comments made on a bookmark by people
Create a blog post about your experience and thoughts about this tool. Can you see the potential of this tool for research assistance? Or just as an easy way to create bookmarks that can be accessed from anywhere? I can see that this is a cool tool for those who like this type of activity. I have found that I am able to usually find what I want quickly and easily with out this type of a tool, however as I have mentioned before, I do not live on the computer or Internet. My bookmarks are specific to : things I do at home and things I do at work and I do not usually need to access my home bookmarks at work and do not need my work bookmarks at home. I am not worried about loosing the bookmarks so do not feel a compelling need to use a public bookmarking site.
