Reflection Assignment 8
I have been excited about all of the tools and how they can be used in a school setting. My absolute favorite is the del.icio.us tool. I can not tell you how many times I have had wait until I got home or vice versa to get a web page that I love but forgot the address. Also, my computer crashed a few months ago and I lost every favorite list I had!!! This is an excellent way to keep everything together. It is a great back up tool. Also, I am so excited to begin looking at other peoples bookmarks! I know that a teacher I work next to has excellent websites and I would love to see her favorite page. After I logged on to del.icio.us account I started tagging items and moving my favorites over!

I love del.icio.us (if I ever spell it right!). I, too, have lost websites. Every year I create favorites on my computer at school and either have to save them to my "p" drive so they don't get wiped out over the summer or lose them. Now all I have to do is save them on my del.icio.us and they'll be there for me when ever I need them.
This is one of the most useful tools there is, I think! I work on so many different computers that this is the only way to keep all those websites organized and available, wherever I am.
You have a good point about having all the bookmarks in one place under del.icio.us so that we can pick them up anywhere. Since I share a computer at home, I love the idea that I have MY bookmarks in one spot and don't have the rest of my family's. (Do I really need to go to Golfpro. com or some such thing? I don't even golf!)
The fact that the bookmarks and tags don't get wiped out in the annual computer cleansing is also a huge plus!
I agree that del.icio.us can be a very useful tool between computers....I have found myself sending emails back and forth between work in order to tag websites that I have found at the different locations but wanted access to in both places. I think the networking tool to also awesome b/c like you said than you can find sites that you might not happen to run across but someone else has.
