Delightful Delicious

Social bookmarking is something that is very new to me. I had never heard of delicious or any of the other social bookmarking sites before. Delicious allows me to save the websites that I use often and lets me view them from any computer. Since learning about delicious I have been using it at school. One teacher asked how to find the DPI math site (it is sometimes hard to locate)which we use a lot. I told her I have it marked on my delicious site. She was very curious as to what it was and how to use it. I was very excited to explain to her what it was and how to use it. I thought that marking things in your favorites was a great thing to do, but using delicious is so much better. Delicious allows you to view others post as well. While viiewing others posts I have found many additional sites that I have found very benefical. One such site allows you to type a letter in English and it will translate it into Spanish. This is very helpful for me, because I have several non-english speaking parents that I need to communicate with and this tool allows me to do so, since I am not fluent at Spanish.

Good for you for sharing. Helping folks who wonder about your cool projects, own classroom applications, kids' work is probably the most effective approach over the long run.
