Module 7

Delicious 

Mmm Delicious! I wont lie, these modules are getting more exciting as the weeks progress and I cannot wait to find some more delicious recipes (sites/modules/programs) that will entice my pallet.  What a fantastic and useful tool Delicious is. 

 

By far the most appealing feature of delicious was the amount of time that can be saved. There is no need for endless scrolling through search results in google anymore.... I don't have to select page 6 to find what I want or lead my students into useless, unreliable and invalid computer lessons before they finally get somewhere. 

 Stacks are a great way to organise links and scaffold learning but in particular research surrounding the learning of a topic. Love Delicious!

Module 6

FLICKR:

As an active member of social networking and Facebook, Flickr naturally appealed to me. It's extremely simple and focuses on the sharing of image; a tool which could be used not only in social networking but also in professional dialogue and visual networking.



After all, they say a picture is worth a thousand words- the more pictures, the more 'words' you're able to share with your online 'friends' and with your class.
