As most PC users do, I was an Explorer user when I first connected to the Internet. When I moved onto UNI, where PC's were replaced with MAC's, I was turned onto Safari, which I used for years. I then - only recently - switched over to Firefox, after being told that it was the superior browser. I must admit, between Safari and Firefox I am torn, as I really like the aesthetics of the Apple browser, but at the same time have no real problems with Firefox.
Now, you may be thinking, why is it that he is rambling on about browsers' when he is meant to be commenting on Online Communities and Social Bookmarking? The answer lies in my vast collection of FAVOURITES! You see, I never carried over my FAV's from one browser to the other. In turn, I lost track of the countless passwords, login details and pages that I had accumulated over the years. If I wanted a SYD UNI site, I used Explorer. My forum details were all on Safari, and my work links on Firefox. Now with DELICIOUS, I can have ONE place for EVERYTHING!
I also like the COMMENTING aspect on BLOGGER. I have found, through my role as eLearning Coordinator, that I have helped individuals with this course in person. In then being able to comment online, I think another dimension is added to the assistance I may or may not give my colleagues.
ONE MORE THING ... http://delicious.com/EvertonPom ... BIG UPS! To Mr. Simon Crook. He came to LaSalle on the first day of this year and showed us his DELICIOUS page. Since then, daily, I check to see what he has added. It has (and I dare say will continue to be) my first port of call when it comes to eLearning. Check it out!

It is really great to see how you have embraced the e-learning Mick. I like the idea that you can provide extra assistance to those of us who are just finding our feet via the 'comments' section on our blogs. It allows us to not only converse with you face to face, but it also allows us to explore our blogs and learn more about the wonders of e-learning. The 'delicious' bookmarking site is rather a 'delicious' way of increasing our resources as we are able to see what other people, who have been added to our network, bring to the table. I can really see myself utilising this a tool for self development and resource building.
ReplyDeleteHudap! Good to see you embracing this along side me mate. It really is true what you have said, and even if it (at this point in time) is just about the self-development aspect, it really is a great learning tool!
