Thing 17 Mmm DELICIOUS! Not really! - Chewy is more like it.

I signed up for Delicious (or Del.icio.us) and found the APSU 23 Things tags (or bookmarks). After reading through a couple of them, I got bored. I had already explored the APSU 23 Things Sandbox in a previous Thing assignment. Yes, I sat through the 8 minute tutorial, still the site did not interest me. Instead of looking at the tags of other APSU 23 Thingers, I decided to search for Math tags. The first tag to come up under the Math heading was one of my favorite resources, Wolfram MathWorld. Well, afterall Del.icio.us is a place where several people have tagged many things of interest. Why wouldn't the best Math website be the top tag? If you don't know, Wolfram Mathematica is, in my opinion, the BEST interactive interest site that exists for learning and/or teaching math at any level. Many other tags were under the Math Tag, like Math playground, and Euler Project (very cool- Euler came up with Trigonometry- ha ha ha- anyone want Euler to "sin" his autograph? He may even "cosin" your loan- okay enough going off on "tangents" - LOLOLOL). I crack myself up. Del.icio.us was not difficult to sign up for. It can be used to help students with homework at home or even help them find resources for group work or projects. I can see possible uses for this Learning 2.0 tool in the classroom. Mostly, I would use it to set up some bookmarks for students to use in homework help and research.
