Delicious day comments

Well, my "delicious day" is nearly over and I think it has gone relatively well. Teachers came by during their planning time throughout the day; some stayed their entire 45 minutes. Several teachers were completely unfamiliar with delicious.com so we set up accounts for them and introduced them to the capabilities. We also linked everyone to the Salem Media Resources account on delicious and showed people how to "borrow" bookmarks from people on their network and place them in their own bookmarks. Overall, I would say everything was a success. I had a handout for teachers to take back to their classrooms, and for those who were already familiar and using delicious, I pointed out the need to tag items consistently with other Salem teachers so we could find each others' bookmarks efficiently. Of course, I worked into the very wee hours last night getting food ready as well as my training materials, but I believe it was worth it in the end. One of the participants commented that the food really WAS delicious. That was the point. I hope the entire effect is that teachers will remember to use delicious.com.
