Thing #17

So, I listened to the explanation about how great this tagging and social bookmarking tools are.  I like the idea of being able to bookmark the sites I visit the most.  I am not sure I like the idea of other people piggybacking on them so they do not have to take the time to find the information themselves.  I signed up on Delicious.  Thinking back, I am not sure how much I like the idea of how many sites I needed to join to be able to do the homework, free or not.  Under the tags "educational technology" I ended up on a popular site that allows the viewers to listen to different quotes said by all kinds of people - TED:  Ideas worth spreading.  I did not find the comments section so I typed it in the question bar.  The comments seemed to be more like questions about what could be found on the site than how people felt about using it.  There were ten tags associated with this link.  Within a grade level, teachers would be able to share information quickly and easily with other teachers.
