Module 7 It's de-lightful, it's de-licious, it's de-lovely

I must confess, social bookmarking gets me a little nervous. Then I started thinking about just how simpler life can be if I could access other people's bookmarked and tagged sites.  Even with my particular interests in deceased pontiffs, wars, genocides and other ugly moments in human history the amount of time I spend hunting for material for my other blog Paul on Pius, would probably be significantly reduced.  And, of course, watching the clip from Palm Breeze Cafe with Lee and Lee, made me think, yet again, "Oh ye of little faith, why do you doubt?"  I find I listen more attentively when other teachers are teaching me about teaching ... it must be a credibility thing.

So what did I learn?  From a technical aspect it was a minimal learning experience - I have a huge favourites collection in multiple folders classified to my rather idiosyncratic system.  However, from the perspective of gathering and using material for the classroom etc, Delicious will be a great help.  Sharing resources with colleagues and students will speed up research time and reduce the "oh I know I had that really good site here somewhere" feeling.

And as invited by the "S/He who must be Obeyed" I have been busy corresponding with fellow bloggers, but I shan't say with whom.  Let the reader seek and find.
