Learning about delicious - social bookmarking

And so Task 13. Well, I already had a delicious account which I started about 1 month ago and I have found it to be an invaluable way of connecting my laptop bookmarks with my pc bookmarks as I don't have a network set up.

So I have learnt a few more things about it tonight, and can see how it may be useful to me in other ways. For example when working collaboratively with other students on assessments we could all have a common tag and then send each other bookmarks for various research sites that may pertain to whatever assignment that we may be working on.

This could also be used in a classroom on a similar premise. Students would be able to find research sites at home and post them to their delicious account under the common tag name and then that resource would be available to whomever else looks at that common tag.   Very Cool!

So tonight I have added a Network Badge onto my blog page. I could not work out how to get it anywhere else on the page but on the side bar. I need to find out a little bit more about html stuff.

Next up Task 14.
