Catalogue+of+Useful+Web+Resources

Portfolio of Educational Resources** This assignment required us to find fifty quality resources on the web and then use the program Delicious to bookmark them in an account we created.By bookmarking these sites we not only found great classroom tools, we also consolidated all of these sites and resources into one, easy to use account. This is a practical, relevant and usable tool for teachers of any age level or subject area~

This assignment was a great way to bookmark items that I can use in my classroom. In determining what links to put into the Delicious account I looked for items that could serve multiple purposes. I wanted items that were content specific and relevant to specific units, search engines and reliable resource tools for students to use when doing research for my class, and technology tools that my students and I could use to create innovative lessons and presentations. Even after finding fifty websites I have continued to bookmark items that I can use in my class because I feel this is a really beneficial and easy to use way to incorporate various resources on a regular basis. The fact that the websites are all in one place makes them easy to access...I can't even remember how many times I have come across something that I would like to use in class and then either forgot about it or couldn't remember where I found it. Now I have all of my items in one place!

 * Included Delicious Tags**:

This activity was an excellent way for me to catalogue useful websites I can utilize in my classroom. Teachers are constantly sharing neat tools they find with one another, and I can't even say how many of these over the years I have tried to write down or save that I eventually simply forget about. Now I can continue to add to my Delicious account each time I find something that I think will be beneficial. The tags make everything very user friendly and easy to locate so that I don't have to sift through e-mails, websites and search engines looking for something specific. After initially having entirely too many tags I have consolidated them into nineteen tags that are easier to navigate. I found this activity so beneficial that I also found myself sharing the tools I found with my colleagues each day, and a few of them have created Delicious accounts of their own to use in their own classrooms. This is such a great organization tool, and it will really help to make lesson planning easier. I also found some really neat tools to show my students so that they can create presentations online or work collaboratively to edit and discuss assignments from home. This was a beneficial activity in so many ways!
