Portfolio+of+Quality+Educational+Web+Resources

=In this class we were assigned the task to locate fifty quality resources to use in our instruction than use the sight Delicious.com to bookmark these sights so we could find them quickly, but also in one spot, rather than our bookmark link on our computer. Delicious allows me to access these sights from any computer and use them in any classroom.= = = =Below are a few of the tags I selected from my delicious account for a future assignment with my students. I chose to collect tags referencing famous Americans. My students will work in groups to research famous Americans to later present to an audience of their peers. I also found several teacher resources and reading sites to help my students that I tagged in order to use later in my classroom.= = = = Web URL for Delicious account: [] =

Using Delicious was a great way to "tag" websites easily for my use later. I liked how I could hit a simple button and keep track of the resources I came across. I chose my topics with a specific assignment in mind. My students will complete a research project on famous Americans later this year and locating the web resources and organizing them under specific topics for them; presidents, authors, inventors, etc. where I can go back and locate the information easily will save a lot of time for my first grade students to use easily. I also tagged fluency tags that have strategies for fluency improvement that I can use for RTI and also teacher resources that have several different printables, graphic organizers, and also supplemental lessons that I can incorporate into my current lessons. I liked using Delicious for tags and information. I will certainly will continue to use it in the future.
