We have been using the social bookmarking site Delicious during this semester, and I hate to admit that I wanted Professor Boyer to be fed to sharks when he gave us this assignment because I felt it was the stupidest, most useless, and what seemed to be a complete waste of time tool. I now, of course feel extremely guilty of ever thinking that, because it has been one of the most beneficial things we have utilized this semester and feel I could even be their spokesperson.
At the beginning of Education 331 when Dr. Boyer told us to go to Delicious.com I was was frightened I would see naked women on the page, but in reality it was the best website Boyer exposed us too. Delicious has minimized my extremely large favorites tab on my computer and allows me to have access to my favorite websites when on any computer, not just my own, and has thousand of resources available to access. Delicious also allows me to search different people who have also 'tagged' the website and view their different websites they tagged that I could find useful, allowing me to maximize my resources.
I feel that this is probably the best thing I was informed of this semester and has already used it more times than I would have ever realized. Plus I don't have to scroll through my favorites tab for 10 minutes to find the one website address anymore.
