I’ve created a new del.icio.us tag and am inviting you all to use it. The Teaching with Web 2.0 tag, or tww2.0, is for all resources that…well…are useful for teaching with Web 2.0. I’ve refrained from calling it e-Learning 2.0 because it’s not clear to me that using Web 2.0 tools necessarily means that you’re […]

Looking for del.icio.us Tutorials
I’m putting together a “Teaching with Web 2.0” talk and cookbook and I’m looking for tutorials on how to use del.icio.us–preferably something basic that can walk technology-timid faculty through the steps of setting up an account, installing the bookmarklet, tagging pages, finding pages tagged by other people, etc. Anybody know of anything like that?

Del.icio.us Feast
I admit it: Much as del.icio.us has intrigued me, I could never quite figure out how to use the darned thing. Lucky for me, Eric Feinblatt turned me on to a screencast on the topic by John Udell. If you’re like me and you haven’t quite been able to get into del.icio.us, then check out […]

This is a better solution than creating faceted single tags (e.g., “arthistory:france”) that I made a while back because (a) it’s simpler, and (b) it […]
cogdogblog: Chemistry Students Building Delicious Link Collections
Alan Levine has posted an account of how a chemistry teacher is using del.icio.us tags to have her students gather related resources for her chemistry class. This is directly relevant to a recent conversation here on e-Literate. Good stuff.
The Obligatory Folksonomy Post
Commenting on a recent post, Beth Harris asks the question of how the tagging system in Flickr could be used for teaching purposes. (Beth, a fellow SUNY-ite working at FIT, is doing some cool stuff with her art history classes using Flickr.) After thinking about it for a bit, I’m afraid the answer I come […]
Open Access, Furl, and Course Packs
I just took a quick look at The Learner’s Library As far as I can tell, the service breaks down as follows: LL contains a collection of academic journal articles that have been pre-cleared for copyright. There’s a search interface to that collection that includes what appears at first glance to be pretty decent natural […]
