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

A Culmination of Everything I’ve Ever Learned, in Essay Form
Wednesday, April 29, 2009
At the beginning of this semester, I didn’t know what to expect from the class, having received a description from my adviser that was vague at best. What I did not expect however, was a computer and internet oriented class that would completely change not only the way I viewed new media and the internet, [...]
Dreaming about Delicious
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
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. [...]
Unthinkable?
Tuesday, April 14, 2009
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 [...]
Alien Education?
Thursday, April 9, 2009
I started out this blog originally with just a summary of what we had read, but naturally, I found it hard to push out much further than that. So instead, I decided to ponder: why are we reading this story? Education has been a recurring theme in our class, and pushing the boundaries of modern [...]
The Delicious Library
Friday, April 3, 2009
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 [...]
Gophers: Go for it!
Wednesday, April 1, 2009
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://> [...]
Is My Machine Using Me?
Wednesday, April 1, 2009
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 [...]
Wordles!!!
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
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.
The Project
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
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 [...]
