Tagging

I can see how tagging a site would help you stay organized, help others to find a site they might like, and also help the site itself with increased traffic. On one of the blogs I go to regularly, I've seen her thank someone for their tag. Now I know what she was talking about. I'm guessing that delicious tells the site when they've been tagged.
This would definitely help with research. For home schooling, for example, there are tons of wonderful websites with free games. I quickly accumulated so many that they became useless. Just going by the little bit of bookmark name is not enough. With tagging I can organize by "multiplication" or "writing_organizers" or "vocabulary." Then I can see what others have tagged as "vocabulary."
I also love the fact that all of this work organizing is not limited to one computer, but can be accessed anywhere you can remember your username and password.

You Tube

Well, this was very fun. It's great to see how creative folks are. I have a favorite video here with the proper Hawaiian theme for this work blog. Plus I always liked the song Hotel California...

podcasts

This was time consuming for me. I had saved some names that I wanted to look up for this lesson, but it looks like they all want money to listen to their podcasts, or I couldn't find them. Julian Darley had a great speech the other day, Post Carbon World, on NPR, but I couldn't find it again. Todd Strasser, who'll be at MLA, has a song that was on Car Talk on NPR, but I couldn't listen to it either from his website or from NPR. I guess I learned I better write down the date, time, and program when I want to hear something again. The names alone don't seem to work.
I finally signed up "6o second science" on my bloglines account.
