Fan.ta.stic:)Here I am once more with another interesting e-tool: Del.icio.us. It's an on-line bookmark where you can put and add your favourite websites and weblogs. This way, you don't have to necessarily use your personal computer to see the bookmark you have in your browse. You just need to be online (through whichever computer) and go and log in your page on Del.icio.us.
At the end of the register process, you can install on your FireFox browse two buttons:
#Post to del.icio.us. Click on it and you can immediately save the link you're interested in, add some notes on website contents and write tags in order to find it easily among your bookmark links.
#My del.icio.us. Switch it and your del.icio.us page -with your bookmark list- will open.
(Actually Del.icio.us buttons are four, but their functions are those explained above. The fact is that the ones you find at the left-hand of the URL box are represented by icons, while those put below the formers are just writings.) Moreover you can create a network with other people registered in del.icio.us. After you've created your network you can see your peers' bookmarks and pick out something you find interesting to add to your bookmarks. Moreover your peers can see websites you add. This is a useful exchange of e-information:)
Then, if you're allowed, you can add your peers' network members to your list and enlarge your network and, eventually, your bookmark list. For example, thanks to Giada I added a 'cyber listening laboratory' which is useful for improving listening and pronunciation skills in English. On it there is an interesting section in which you can hear native speakers' pronunciation about different topics; I like it for being well organized since you can find the words you want to listen to very easily.
Through Letizia I discovered About.com which helps you to organize lessons for ELS - English as a Second Language- learners. Supposing to become a teacher, I think it helps at the beginning. BTW it helps even if you're still a student because there are quizzes for advanced learners. moreover it can be a tool if, in your spare time, you give lessons to beginners of ESL.
I picked The Phrase Finder from Elena's bookmarks. I find it interesting for its forum section since you can discuss with native speakers about ELS doubts you have.
Covington M.A.'s website is something I get known through Silvia's bookmarks. It deals with drafting, revising, editing texts and information, in general. On it there are different pages dedicated to how to organize knowledge and information in order to make it easier to learn and clearer to be read by other people. Finally, as I noticed everybody had it I added our e-tool to learn English: Bloggingenglish1!
About the use of tags I think that for each link it's better not to use as so many tags as you can : it would create a looong list of tags and it might cause you troubles when searching for that website you've in mind. I think that to organize your bookmark the best, you should think about some main categories then enter there or not the websites or blogs you progressively save. For example, I tagged all new bookmarks about English or ESL websites I've saved so far with Bloggingenglish, ESL. Eventually I tagged them with listening, writing, reading or vocabulary or other key words which help me to understand what is the website about.
If you want, you can add me in your Del. icio.us.: go into 'your network' tab and put 'Zara_araS' in the adding tab...just a few seconds and you'll be able to see my bookmarks!
