As part of my final project, I created 3 screencasts about Delicious and how tagging can be used as a learning tool.

Last night delicous.com was in my dream, which, while decidedly odd, got me thinking about some things. I’ve been focused mainly on the moment of learning that comes when a site is tagged, but while looking at my delicious tags, I noticed that they are also all connected to each other by their shared tags. [...]
One of the most interesting claims made by Clay Shirky in his article is that we are living in the midst of an internet revolution. While I can see how the idea may connect with older generations, I feel that this revolution is not as significant with younger generations. As a member of a generation [...]
So after talking with Dr. C about my project, I think I’ve finally got it. I’m going to explore taxonomy vs. folksonomy, specifically, tagging on delicious.com and how tagging organizes the web. Bush mentions in his essay the idea of sharing associative trails. To extend the metaphor, you took a walk in the woods and [...]
So, sorry about blogging twice within a 30 minute period, but as I was deliciousing some sites, I came across the delicious blog which claims that it now supports tags for gopher. I assumed it was an obnoxious rodent, but in fact it is not. Its a whole other internet, only not <http://> but <gopher://> [...]
So the other day, while I was cruising around making wordles and delicious clouds (unsuccessfully! gah!) I added this experimental software to my blog from delicious.com that will create a blog entry of all my delicious tags and sites for the week. It hasn’t created one yet at the time I am writing this. I’m [...]
Ok, so this might be the coolest thing ever. Ever ever. EVER. Even cooler than savethewords.org. Because they’re MY words. I made a wordle of my blog and it is so cool! Check it out here.
So I think I have my project idea firmly settled in my mind, and I have found some book search widgets that might work. I’m going to create a wiki, my only question now is how it’s going to look. I have an idea of what I want to be on the page, but I [...]
So, feeling somewhat uninspired by today’s reading, I decided to cruise through TedTalks and search “most jaw-dropping”. By accident, I stumbled upon some things that we have discussed multiple times in class, specifically hyperlinks and Flikr. Photosynth, a Microsoft creation, uses various pictures found all over the internet and merges them into one picture with depth [...]
So after our discussion on Thursday, I went home and watched the TedTalk that McCloud had done that Dr. C. had mentioned briefly. Unfortunately, about 5 minutes into the 17 minute long video, it stopped working. However, the first 5 minutes gave me some excellent insight into McCloud. He began by talking about his father, [...]
