Thing 17

Delicious:
I have used delicious only once for another class I had taken but didn't really spend sufficient time searching through the bookmarks. All I can say is WOW. You can find something for nearly any topic of your choice. I found several resources for teaching elementary music. I wish this had been around when I first began teaching music. I was always competent at finding material online, but this makes life so much easier. And with the added bookmarks, you can have more luck finding more material. This also gives you the option at searching through other users bookmarks. This leads you to find some things without actually typing in a particular keyword or bookmark. More than likely the topics you are researching will relate to other bookmarks from other users. For instance when I began a search on musical elements and found that topic, I chose to view a users list of other bookmarked materials. While doing this I found some other interesting music resources this user had bookmarked. This opens the door for educators to work collaboratively to increase their resources. A new way to work smarter instead of harder. Thank goodness for social bookmarking!
