For this assignment I chose to use Delicious to make my toolbox. The account was free and easy to set up. In fact, I wish that this was one of the first things that I had done so that I could have been saving websites throughout the semester to my account. Here is the link to my Delicious page:
My Delicious
So far, I haven't really done that much to organize my toolbox. However, the Delicious program makes it very easy to find things by allowing users to tag their websites. I can tag a website based on its content so I can quickly find sites relevant to the topic that I am looking for. Delicious also lists my top ten tags at the right side of the page. Some of my most popular tags are education, high school, science, and technology. So far, I've added sites that would be relevant to my future career. It's easiest to start by looking at websites that are most popular and have similar tags that you are looking for.
The toolbox will be a great way to save helpful webpages. These could be webpages that I am currently using for a unit or webpages that I come across that i could use in the future. This way, I will easily be able to access these webpages without the frustrating struggle of trying to relocate it when I need it. Delicious is helpful because you can find people who have similar tags as you so you can see there tags as they might have some helpful webpages that you haven't found yet. Other teachers can easily access my Delicious page to find resources that I have found helpful.
