They are a Year 2 class with a lot of ESOL students - so I will let you know how we get on. I think it could work with younger students by placing the link on the bookmark bar and then using very simple tags. Next to the group name I always write the tag that they need to find so that students can find them. <br /><br />I love your wiki - it's a great way for you to build up those links that you will use. The visuals make it highly effective for younger students too!<br /><br />KNet is always a hard one. I feel that it has good uses, but yes it's a lot of money for something that is utilised by few often. Like anything - the PD and time needs to be given so that it can become an effective learning tool in classes. It comes down to the school and the people using it I guess!Heymillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452942761281768449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408832657288968068.post-60388869289331123952010-04-30T20:40:17.864+12:002010-04-30T20:40:17.864+12:00Thanks Hey Milly.

You are such an inspiration. <br />I am so into Delicious now I can't believe it's taken me so long. I feel now that I've been using KNET for 3 years that there is much more out there which doesn't cost as much and whilst I really value KNET with all its potential there is the very real risk in schools that some if not most do not use it to its full capacity. I wonder if it's worth the money without the knowledge, understanding and commitment to full utilising the tool? Anyway back to Delicious - I don't think I would be able to use it with my Year 0/1 children so am sticking with my wiki http://msfjunior.wikispaces.com/ but can definately see the potential for older children.

Think this could be a term 2 holiday job. Your tags are easy to follow as wellKathy Pittawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11763928209845267974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408832657288968068.post-15195893247054758372010-03-16T23:15:55.442+13:002010-03-16T23:15:55.442+13:00I also use delicious with my class.

Even students in other classes have started using it once they know that we have bookmarks there that will be useful to them.<br /><br />I haven't got to the stage where the students have a log in & tag their own bookmarks, but a number of them email me web sites for me to add to our account.<br /><br />Parents love it too as it eliminates the need for the kids to do lots of google searching, plus they know that I've vetted the sites first.Pam Thompsonhttp://thompson67.edublogs.orgnoreply@blogger.com
