Social Bookmarking

Using tags is a good way to organize your bookmarks/favorites because I can never remember where I found an interesting site.  I found find sites that I had never heard of before via Delicious like the BBC, http://www.digitaldialects.com/Spanish/Food_audio.htm,  where students can play interactive games and hear pronunciation, http://www.livemocha.com/vocabulary/games/es-mx# where more advanced students can practice vocabulary with images, http://users.ipfw.edu/jehle/COURSES/verbs/arrepentirse.htm, to access to common verbs in their conjugated forms,  and http://www.codyscuentos.com/2008/03/caperucita-roja-audio-cuento/, to hear Little Red Riding Hood in Spanish and other famous childrens's stories like the Three Little Pigs.


The biggest advantage of using Delicious is that I can access my bookmarks from anywhere and my students can see those links in one place instead of going to the school's homepage.


I see myself being able to use this in my professional and personal life because I move around a lot and I don't like to carry my tablet home every day.  I do a lot of work at home, then I have to email myself the link at work.  This will save me time and frustration - what a clever idea! I guess I'll have to open an account with Delicious.
