Delicious Ideas
I actually started to build a Del.icio.us account for my students! Right now this will just be an assignment on “Tagging“. I may start with having the students access technorati first to see how certain blogs may contain Tags that they are interested in. Next, we will move on to del.icio.us where the kids will access the account I made for them “VHScompapps”. Once we go over “tagging” in general I am going to have the kids tag content by the following criteria:
1. Actual subject tagging- for example: Internet, Student_blogs, Computer_history
2. class period- P_C (for period C)
3. Student Name- “Janie” So a tag entered by Janie in Period C will give credit to her, her class, and still have relevant tags like Computer_History. The best way for students to get credit for their tagging would be to have them create del.icio.us accounts, and adding them to the “VMHScompapps network”
a. Once a student is part of the VMHScomapps network they can alway tag their bookmarks with for:VMHScompapps/period_c this way the link is now saved for the student and for the class
This is totally in the idea process and I don’t even know if it will work, but I am hoping to have the principals and other teachers judge for the class that containes the best content, consistant tagging, and annotations. Please, any feedback or suggestions are welcome!
