Del.icio.us and Year 10 Genetics

Now I have discovered the power of bundling and tagging, there is a lot of content on the web that (sadly) I can't download, various streamed windows media player content and interactive flash videos. Here is where del.icio.us jumps in to the rescue.
Sitting in front of the box with my kids, they can watch the latest mental laxative (i.e reality TV show) and I can search for tomorrows lesson. My current topic is genetics for year10 science, so I tag everything I find with year10genetics. Along the way I found some useful stuff for year10cells and I tagged that too. Then I bundled my year 10 topics in a bundle called Year10science. So next year i can use the same stuff providing the websites haven't been removed, all neatly categorised into year levels and topics.

I am still in an early stage with tagging and bundling, but if you want to see what I mean you can look at my delicious bookmarks...

I have installed by del.icio.us buttons on the school computer (it may be that at some schools you will have to get your techies to do this... a note in their pigeon hole should do the trick) and at the start of the lesson I log in, click on del.icio.us, go to year10genetics in the bundles to the right of the screen and there is my menu for the lesson. Instant student engagement!

If you aren't confident at saving youtubes you could tag them instead with del.icio.us.

Happy websploration!
