Social Bookmarks

This is one of my favorite projects for this class. It is truly one I will use often and share with my co-workers. For years I have kept a list of "favorites" on my computer and would often wonder why I had saved a link in my favorites!! For this assignment I was able to go back through my links I had saved on three different computers between home and school and combine them into Social Bookmarks. What a grand idea! For many, I still wondered why I had saved them while on others I rediscovered some valuable helps for my classroom and my graduate classes.

One thing I learned was about the tagging. As I created the tag cloud, I realized I should have been more exact in my tagging. For example, I used things like "coloring, coloring sheets, color pages." I didn't realize the importance of my categories. Maybe during Christmas break when I get to sit down and actually watch a movie or TV I will go back and change the tags to be more consistent.

In case you are wondering if my tags would be helpful for you, most are related to special education, worksheets or activities that are on preschool to 2nd grade level, early literacy, games, and reading. I like doing lots of hands-on activities and arts/crafts type things but really need some worksheets for documentation. These links provide all those things and more.

  1. Donette,

    Donnette,
    I used the iphones as a listening center. I took all of my books on tape and converted them to "songs" on my iphone library. Then the students picked a book to read and just found the title on the ipod/iphone. The kids loved it! Hope this helps. :)
