Thing # 17

I have never used Delicious before and was happily surprised how easy it is to use the tags and read the tags to sort through junk to find the piles of treasure out there. I was reading Roxanne Ferrell's post about thing 17 to get an insight into other students experiences and I had never thought find sites specifically for my daughter. It makes perfect sense to help your family in this way and it seems PERFECT for classroom use. We know our time and budgets will be limited in the classroom. Tagging sites for a quick reference is a great time saver. By looking at how many people have tagged a certain math site I can guesstimate how reliable the source is. I would love to have hours to pour through math sites but the reality is that I still have to cook dinner and do laundry at the end of the day also. So until I hit the lottery this will be a site I subscribe to to help clear the web air a bit.
I have added a blog by David Warlick to my RSS called too Fresh to Test. I found his philosophy inspiring and his curiosity catchy. I found this blog from looking at popular tags within the recommended APSU's23things bookmarks. I feel it is wise to keep inspirational and uplifting sites for yourself as well. We will all eventually have a bad day or a bad class lesson and those uplifting sites can help us pull ourselves out of the inevitable funk and continue on in the quest to inspire.
