I have found the whole social bookmarking thing to be one of the better things to do on the internet. Since being introduced to it this semester through the del.icio.us site I have found so much potential for it. If you visit my site – del.icio.us/mikeringo.com – you will get see how far ranging this concept can be and I am still exploring the possibilities. My work groupin Energy Australia is the Operating Standards & Accreditation group (OS&A) and we deal with other supply authorities across Australia as well as needing to be aware of current government Acts, Regulations, Codes of Practice and so on so you will see a bundle called OSnA with tags of sites that relate to my group.

You wil also see a bundle under the tag of UNISTUFF. Note that I have a tag for Research.Inquiry. This is one use of this site that we should have known about in our very first semester. Each one of us since beginning uni would have visited hundreds of useful sites. If we knew about this program we could have set up our own database of useful sites specifically for this course with separate tags for each subject.

I intend to add tags for Educational Management as well as Effective Program Delivery. If anyone already has sites bookmarked for these subjects we should use our del.icio.us site to share those resources.

I have already set up another Edublog site called BEdinAdEd and will progressively add sites for all subjects of this course. If you visit it now- del.icio.us/BEdinAdEd-  you will see that it is in it’s infancy. I have started by adding sites to help in writing essays, punctuation, referencing and some sites on Bloom and Maslow. In the end I intendto have bundles for each semester with the subjects for that semester.

I hope I can set up a generic password so everyone can login and add sites to it. Just imagine if we had access to something like that right from day one.

I would like to hear what you think about that,

see you in class
