Hands-on experiences will provide the basis of the workshop.

BARRIE JO PRICE / ANNA MCFADDEN
Title: Del.icio.us, Web2 and Social Bookmarking This session will give a brief overview of the concept of Web2 and what it means for today’s websites, especially those used by educators. Then the presenters will look at Del.icio.us as a tool for teachers and students to share URLs and engage in social bookmarking. Social bookmarking sites are popular ways to store, classify, share and search links, reflecting the more interactive nature of today’s Internet and its extension beyond one’s own set of bookmarks on the desktop. Teachers will definitely want to attend this because it will include practical examples for the classroom.
