Thing 20

This was my first experience with Delicious. I think that it is going to come in VERY handy as I am constantly forgetting URLs when I need them. My user name is candi_ski. I haven't had the chance to add other people's bookmarks to my account, but I did do some searches on educational sites and parenting sites. I found quite a few that were interesting that I plan to go back and save......my daughter was demanding my attention tonight :)

I can think of a few ways I might use this in my teaching. First, and most of all, sharing sites with parents. I have recently been communicating with parents via email....so letters and notes don't get lost on the bus. Every once and awhile a parent asks what resources/educational games are on the web so that their child might play at home. This would be a perfect way to share those sites with all of the parents in my classroom! Not only could I offer educational games, but homework resources, as well as extension activities on what we are learning in the classroom.

The second way I would use this site is for my own advantage. What a great resource for me, both as a parent and as an educator. I am also looking for new interactive lessons for my students. As a mom, I love to keep up on the latest info on my young toddler...discipline, health, and growth!
