Welcome

Hi Everyone,

This blog may have been created for a class but I hope to use it as a way of organizing information not only for others but for myself as well.

A little bit about me:
I'm a 27 year old Elementary Library Media Specialist teaching classes at 2 schools with a total of over 600 students. After school I tutor fellow teachers on how to use and integrate various technologies into their lesson plans. On Saturdays I work at a shoe store that I have happily been a part of for over 8 years.
Since I work 6 days a week it is difficult to fit hobbies into my extra time. But I guess if working out and nutrition is considered a hobby then it would be mine. I weightlift twice a week and do some form of cardio five days a week. In the past year I have lost over 40 pounds and have become a firm believer that with diet, exercise, and determination that anyone can live a healthier lifestyle. So that is enough about me.

Ready, Set, and Let the Blogging Begin,

Delicious

While I was importing my bookmarks and playing around with Delicious I realized how useful this site could be not only for myself but for a few other teachers I know.  Since I am split between 2 school libraries every time I bookmark a new site on one computer I have to write it down or e-mail the link to myself so that I can add it to the one at my other school.  But by using Delicious all I have to do is add the bookmark to the site then log in and what I need is right there ready for me to use.  This site would also be useful to the technology teachers because when they want the students to go to a site they either have to write the URL on the board or bookmark it on 25 computers.  But with this you would only have to bookmark Delicious and have a generic log in for the school and the students will all be able to go to the links that you have chosen for them.  Also another teacher that I work with and tutor loves to do research and find great websites for students and fellow teachers to use.  Her desktop is a mess of links and folders of links that hurts your eyes when you look at it.  But by uploading the link to Delicious then tagging the link with a related term it will be organized and easier to find for later use and sharing.  I think I'm going to e-mail her right now and hopefully when I begin tutoring her next year their will be a whole new form of organization to her research world.
