Bookmark it, of course!
Great. Then you walk into your class, boot up the school computer and open your bookmarks to load the website.
And then the sad realization sets in.
Your home computer and the school computer don't talk. They don't share. They don't collaborate. Your bookmarks at home are not available at school.
You look up.
There are 30 pairs of eyes patiently waiting for you to show them this "amazing, totally fantastic website".
The teachable moment is lost.
Thankfully, Google has the answer! (Google always seems to have the answer.)
Google Bookmarks allows you to bookmark websites and then access them from any computer. All you need is a Google account.
And when you get to class, you will have complete access to all the websites you found last night....while avoiding dishes, and marking, and laundry, and marking.....
Google does it again!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that Google had an entry in the bookmarking space (silly me it is pretty close to if you can thing of it google is trying it these days). Any sense how it stacks up against the heavyweights like Diigo, Delicious, and Evernote? Must say Diigo has really been growing on me recently.
ReplyDeleteI think because I'm always signed in to Google, no matter what computer I'm on, it might be easier. I'm going to try it out for awhile and see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteI've used Google bookmarks, but for school I use my tend to use my Moodles to keep all the sites I want easy access to for various units and courses. Makes it easy to not forget about sites when that future unit does come along!
