The Sweet State of Delicious

In reflecting on the things that I have done in the classroom to be better prepared, I find myself researching the same things over and over again. The more the wheel of researching goes around, the more my head starts to spin. It is like going to Wal-Mart looking for something in particular, but going past the same things that you constantly buy. A classroom teacher is constantly learning new ways to better improve instruction so that every child can learn. While living up to that standard, organization has to come in because in finding things for a lesson, I seem to pass the same things I have used before while trying to find something different about that same topic. With organizational habits come "Evernote". This aid proved useful in saving sites and pages while going back to them as a reference when needed. In reading on the idea of "Delicious" and "Diigo," both add another dimension to the idea of organizing one's notebook. Delicious places information into various categories called stacks. In those stacks, one can see the array of information that act as a bulletin board. By giving a brief look at what the stack holds, it gives the reader an option of whether they want to explore the links on the stack even further. It reminds me of the application on my phone called "Pulse". Both have trending things on them and it pulls out the information instead of you browsing the website looking for the news. This time saving application is very handy with current news and helps one stay on track with the current events.

This sweet state helps teachers get more ahead in the technology department because of the resources that are available. New links can provide avenues to new ideas that create a breakthrough in the lives of children. This personal library can be stuffed with all of your educational and personal fascinations. In the fairness of competition, this state is bribing its way in an effort to receive all types of votes. It is satisfying the sweet tooth of so many people with a lingering after taste for more.
