Using del.icio.us in the classroom

Posted May 29, 2006 * Comments(3) |



Two of our teachers put together an excellent website of materials and web links categorised in terms of the 3-14 curriculum. the site contains downloadable resources and links to sites which the teachers considered useful.

Then on of the teachers came across del.icio.us and realised that it was much easier to use than maintaining a website and could be kept up to date quickly and easily. The result is http://del.icio.us/loirston which currently contains over 300 links which have been tried and tested by teachers and organised in terms of 5-14.

This is a great example of a teacher seeing the potential of a new way of working and using it in a very practical way.

    Wow, beautifully organised. I wish I could keep my del.icio.us in such good order.
    Thanks for sharing this one , and please pass on my appreciation.

    I’ve NEVER seen a delicious so well done. Really impressive. Likewise, pass on my thanks. I might forward a few French links to bolster that section. A link to this should go onto the 5-14 site from LTS.

    Clearly not needed by the people you highlight here (in fact they could teach me a thing or two) but my Guide to del.icio.us contains some ideas for educational uses as well as details about how to get started with del.icio.us. Thought this might be of use to some of your readers.
