There are some websites I've heard of but have never tried to mess around with. Delicious is one of them. I knew it had something to do with links, but that's where my knowledge ended. The presentation tonight was helpful, going a little more in depth and explaining what can be done with Delicious, for personal use as well as in the classroom. Saving links and making stacks seems like it would be a great way to organize the thousands of websites that are out there and make it easier to remember the ones I want to use in the classroom. Since I can search the links by tags, it's a quick and easy way to find what I'm looking for.
I think Delicious is something I will use in the future. There are always times when I wish I had my bookmarks with me from my personal computer, and Delicious keeps them all there for me.
Glogster was really interesting to me. I love the designs you can add to make a blog full of audio, video, and pictures that is more interesting than simple letters on a wiki page. I can see how letting students use this site could be time consuming because there are SO many options to go through and add. Then again, I can see myself spending more time than necessary on the site. However, I still think it's a great tool that would be useful in the classroom. I can't wait to play around with it some more and see how I can incorporate it in the classroom!
