Quality+Education+Web+Resources

=Dawn Follin’s Educational Web Resources= This assignment required me to search the web for what I felt were quality web resources. Many of these resources were of importance to me because I am new to creating lesson plans, collaboration activities, etc. for K-12 students. It did not take long to collect the many websites listed on my Delicious account and I continue to collect them as I come across anything that I feel will help me in my pursuit to better understand the subject matter.

I did not consider it a “process” when selecting the tags I used to categorize these various websites. When I think back at how I chose the tag(s) for a particular website, I merely wanted to ensure that the website would be easy to find when I was concentrating on a particular subject. I also wanted to be sure that it would be easy to find for anyone with whom I shared my Delicious account.

Everything I tagged in this assignment was of some kind of significance to me whether in relation to what I am doing now or what I would like to do in the future concerning educational technology.

The tags I used / use are as follows: Collaboration E-Learning Ed Education Elearning Eportfolio Lessonplans Resources Screencapture Standards Teaching Technology Video Videos Web 2.0 Webdesign Webquest Writing

When I reflect on this assignment, I think of how incredibly useful the Delicious tool will be when trying to find a particular website that I have saved. I have never used Delicious or anything like it before because I really never saw how it would be useful in my educational, professional or personal life. Having taken database theory in my undergrad degree program has helped me to appreciate the cross referencing capabilities with a tool like Delicious. Using this tool will allow me to cut down on my research time in a significant way by allowing me to focus in on one subject at a time instead of scrolling through hundreds of unsorted bookmarks in my web browser. I have thoroughly enjoyed this assignment and I am by no means finished. I will continue to add to my bookmarks and tag particular websites throughout my program at Wilmington University.
