Bookmark a web page in IE, go back and organize the bookmarks to keep them in categories, blah, blah, blah, and only on that computer! Ugh!

Now, imagine bookmarking a webpage with a word that describes the web site. Imagine the possibilities of sharing your bookmarks with another teacher. Imagine being able to see other teachers bookmarks. Imagine our entire faculty sharing their bookmarks. Imagine the time savings of having to look for resources on your own. Sound delicious?

Visit http://del.icio.us/ to create an account and begin using bookmarks as described above.

You can view our delicious accounts right now by going to http://del.icio.us/mbachrodt and http://del.icio.us/sweidig.

Our 'tags' or bookmarking groups are listed on the right side of the screen. Clicking on one of the tags will show you what I have found on the web that I consider worth saving for future reference.

What is SimplyBox?

It is a free service that allows you to visually capture any part of a web page. As you collect items that you captured, you organize them in boxes. You can then share these items or boxes with friends, colleagues, ... the world. The result is: efficient and visual collaboration around content. We call it: "Content Networking".

In "Content Networking" the content is king. And it is the nature of the content that defines who will be part of the collaboration around that content. The content I share with my co-workers is sometimes very different from the content I share with my close friends. I basically have different sets of content that I share with different sets of people.


Don't just bookmark! Highlight the web! Add sticky notes too! Access and search your findings from any PC or iPhone! Create groups to pool resources for specific projects.
