Cool Resources for Online Educators
In an attempt to explore and reveal interesting new technologies of interest to online educators, I’ll be posting small reviews and explanations of tools I find on the Internet.
You can find more by visiting my delicious page:

If you haven’t heard of it before, Delicious is *very* useful.
According to the Delicious Web site:
“Delicious is a social bookmarking service that allows users to tag, save, manage and share web pages from a centralized source. With emphasis on the power of the community, Delicious greatly improves how people discover, remember and share on the Internet.”
Personally, I use it all the time. While reading articles, listserv postings, listening to colleagues, randomly surfing the Internet, I encounter great resources that I want to find later. Rather than bookmark the site in a browser (which is then only accessible from *that* workstation), I tag the site in Delicious, which is accessible from anywhere!
I’ve also found great resources by browsing the link collections by other learning technologists. Give it a try sometime…check out the tagged links by like-minded colleagues!
