Technorati: After I watched the video about the new technorati, became a member, and started searching the blogs: I am wondering why the video about the new technorati (cool colors, etc.) is different then the one I was searching (all green!?) !? Just a thought!
Tagging is very useful. Right now it feels like I am reorganizing my house....adding my favorites to delicious, going back and tagging my photos in flickr---I even went back and tagged or "labeled" (as it is stated in blogspot) some of my blog posts. Since in my real life I am extremely unorganized (part of my DNA), at least in my technological life I can try and tag as much as possible so that SOME aspect of my life is organized and readily available.
I really enjoy delicious right now. For some reason I haven't decided HOW public I would like my flickr site to be, because of my kids, etc. Technorati had some great videos and pictures that I enjoyed searching for, I will have to figure out how I could borrow or use them in an educational setting?

Thing #13--Tagging
When I first started taking the tutorials, I was a little lost! Then I realized this is just like "tagging" yourself in facebook, or at least a little similar. Once I became a member, and added the delicious tools in my browser menu, I realized how great this tool really is. I was able to tag and bookmark all of my favorite and useful library web pages. I searched for more, and found many library information literacy lessons--which I am always in search of!
This will be so useful for teachers, and for students in research. One of the kids research topics that came to mind was the Civil War Prisons. They are always wanting to research this topic when doing the "Civil War Research". I also looked up some of the teachers curriculum topics to see if they had useful tools, which they did.
I am going to definitely show the teachers the social bookmarking of delicious during staff development. At least they will have something new to try for the year, and hopefully be able to find something new to USE for the year in their classroom.
