Delicious Tips

·         Start bookmarking your online resources on Delicious and apply relevant tags to share with different communities.

·         Here are tips to help you to tag to share your bookmarks:

o   Share with your groups: Tags: ETC677 Group1

o   Share with the class: Tag: ETC677 Lesson1

o   Share with other people: MCC (Mesa Community College)

o   Check “Mark as private” for private bookmarks to maintain your privacy.

o   The more tags applied; the easier it is to locate later; create better community learning resources.

Twitter

·         We will use for course announcements. If you do not follow course Twitter, it is harder for you to see the announcements.

·         If you have smart phones, by following ETC647, you can get updated on the course with Twitter.

·         Get real time help from the classmates: including the hashtag #ETC677 in your tweets. Our classmates may it and respond to your tweet.  It is likely getting support faster than e-mail.

·         Follow your teammates for collaborative work.

·         See classmates’ tweets: https://twitter.com/ETC677/fall-2010

iGoogle

I encourage you to use iGoogle as your personal portal page to allow you to manage multiple web 2.0 tools on the same page.  If you have other ETC courses using Web 2.0 tools, you can add them to your iGoogle as gadgets.  Feel free to share gadgets with your teammates, classmates, and me.  There are many useful iGoogle gadgets available to support our learning.

Personally, I visit my iGoogle when I start working on computer and leave it logging in so I can monitor my personal learning environments within fingertips.
