Del.icio.us Experience

Web2.0 is essentially a way for you to be able to store all your files on the internet so that you can access them at anytime, anywhere.  Some examples of Web2.0 is Google Docs, Blogger, Del.isio.us, Facebook, youtube, and skype.

Del.icio.us is a tool that allows you to bookmark any page and save those bookmarks online.  Just like a favorites page, del.icio.us also allows you to create stacks, or folders for all your bookmarked sites.  It also lets you tag the web pages with words that will help you find them quickly if you do not remember which folder you stored them in, or have not made folders for them at all.  You also have the ability to share your del.icio.us page so that others may be able to go to your page in search of good links. 

Some informational resources:

Del.icio.us is a tool that can be used by teachers and students to maxamize work time by having all links that may be needed to work on or complete a project in one space.  It also allows for teachers to bookmark only those sites that they want their students to use.  Teachers and students can make a collective page where everyone adds useful sites for all to use.  Delicious could also be a resource that lets students compile a list of useful sites that may be beneficial to them throughout their schooling.

  1. Great job on Delicious. I believe the first part of this Post was also to include your own definition and examples (links) on Web2.0 and cloud computing ????
