If you do get on the internet, this will interest many: http://www.global-issues-network.org/
I have been wondering how these web site recommendations could be saved and made available to anyone interested (teachers, students, parents, …).
One possibility is to use the free Internet service diigo.com.
Diigo is about better ways to research, share and collaborate on information.
Please have a look at my diigo as an example: http://www.diigo.com/user/jannordgreen.
The My Library tab lets you see links posted. Links can be added to lists. Links can be found by tags or by various searching techniques.
The My Network tab shows what others say about the links I have and allows me to see the links of those who share a link of mine. It also gives a link to the people I follow and who follows me.
The My Groups tab shows the groups I follow and description of them. At the moment I have four groups. Diigo in Education is one of them.
I am wondering if the school librarian could be in charge of this service for the school. People could continue to email suggestions of educational links and the librarian could add them to the school’s diigo site. The difficult task is to decide on tags and lists for easy location of links. Who could do this better than a librarian?!
A link can be assigned tags and that way I can give a link to students of my classes showing just the relevant links for that class. http://www.diigo.com/user/jannordgreen/itgs news gives my links for my ITGS class.
Diigo has other features, but this is a beginning. Personally I have a free educational account and can add students to it. My first thought was to to use delicious.com for this, but the Yahoo ID requirement they just launched put me off.
