  • First, add tags that are meaningful for you, for your private retrieval, and also tags that have been suggested by the group that will help others browse through the treasures you find online.
    
  • Handling more information and sharing it with our colleagues should make us better teachers.
    
  • Every online resource we explore is bookmarked and shared with the group. I used to do that in delicious. Now, I'll have to see how to do that here. In delicious I could easily organize my tags in Weeks (bundling tags). Here, I think you can use the "lists" to organize your tags in a meaningful way to the group. I'll check that.
    
  • Organization is key! Use tags, bundles, lists or whatever to stay organized.
  • Take advantage of your network, and explore other's bookmarks on a topic. Search tags in delicious to find pretty relevant and current search results. Explore!!
  • This is so true and I guess Diigo makes the social part even easier and more interactive.
    
  • As for information overload, I consider bookmarking a way to dribble information overload. Why? If you have tons of bookmarks together with tons of people's bookmarks being tagged, you can use those bookmarks to create meaning whenever needed.
  • Its value is in the implicit relationships that turn it into an infrastructure of meaning".
  • in Delicious, I bundled the tags in weeks. For each week, I'd direct them to the bookmarks of the week
  • Besides, I created a tutorial with the most important features in Delicious.
  • Another aspect is that I think that online bookmarking should make us guilty-free instead of guilty because we don't check all the links we've bookmarked.
  • Who said we need to look at them all?
  • If you consider Diigo for that matter, you could easily set up a group and you could have the bookmarks for your students to start with and encourage them to share their bookmarks with the group. Also, I'd consider specific tags
  • I think the comments feature and the sticky notes have great potential in the classroom!
    
    
  • Working with bookmarks to make a digital portfolio sounds very creative.
  • I thought the idea of a digital portfolio using tags a very interesting one, even more with the webslides. You can keep track of all the online artifacts you've been creating. Interesting for busy educators!
  • I think a really big thing is to change one's way of thinking.

  Dear João, I guess what we cannot lose focus is on the most fundamental piece of the edtech world, our students! We need to guide them to be more autonomous in their learning, but we cannot just "throw" things for them and think that they will find their way around. They first need modeling. Then, yes, they will be more confident to try out different tech tools that suit their needs and interests. Otherwise, we could be the ones who totally turn them off with our tech excitement! That's what I always have in mind, the human factor. I guess it makes a difference.

  Exactly, Carla. I totally agree with you because I learned exactly that lesson this school year when I used blogs with my students for the first time. I blogged about it in my blog here http://joaocarlosalves.eu and the many comments I got during the EVO session helped me realize a lot of things about the use of technology with students. The one you mention was one of the most important. A big thank you to all who helped me understand how to use technology with students in a more effective way.
