Thing 14- Delicious with gregory_jacoby

Delicious is such a wonderful tool. I have often been overwhelmed with search engines such as Google, Bing, FireFox, etc. It is great to have the luxury to have access to sights that have been ranked as useful by other professionals that are utilizing the Web to enhance their teaching experiences.

Social Bookmarking can assist in streamlining my search process for the best practices that can be utilized in the school setting. This would be particularly useful in the area of effective and efficacious support services in providing speech therapy. Sometimes it seems like I am an island unto myself being the only speech therapist in my buildings at any given day. By having access to other's bookmarks, I would have a handy resource to help trouble shoot when I do not have a colleague to brainstorm with regarding a special case.

The other great benefit to a site such as Delicious is that I can access my list of resources from any computer. Due to the fact that I travel to multiple buildings and am having to carry therapy materials, tests, traveling office and laptop, etc in and out of buildings, Delicious would simplify my life. It would allow me to utilize computers that are available in my buildings rather than always having to bring in and set up my computer on a daily basis. Not only would I have access to digital therapy materials, teaching/therapy resources, but also administrative forms that most other teachers do not use through my bookmark library.

I can definitely see how Delicious could ultimately improve my productivity and allow me to spend more time with my students and less time trying to find, copy, and transport material from one building to another. Over time I can see how my personal resource list could really be helpful to myself and others that may need certain information/resources.

So come and see my bookmarks as I begin to navigate Delicious at gregory_jacoby. I will be peeking at your lists someday soon. Bye, Gregory Jacoby
