Tech Musings is also being renamed to Teaching Hacks. The title change is also a shift in focus to broader ideas with regards to using different utilities, software, web applications in the classroom. The title teachinghacks is a word play on the meme lifehack. Pulling on the idea of helping teachers by using simple tools and ideas.

Social Bookmarking and RSS

Happy new year!

First, I love my del.icio.us account. Second, it is great to use foxylicious extention in Firefox because it synches up my bookmarks on the different computers that I work from. Finally, RSS is awesome.

If you haven’t started using social bookmarking tools:

Create an account at del.icio.us(http://del.icio.us/) or Furl(http://www.furl.net/) to store, sort and share the web sites that you feel have worthwhile in information for your students (and colleagues). Share your del.icio.us and Furl bookmarks with your class using an RSS feeds.

An RSS feed can be found on the bottom of almost every page within del.icio.us. You can use your inbox to subscribe to other people’s feeds or by tag. The inbox merges all of these feeds together into a central feed. This central feed will keep track of all the bookmarks people are adding to the community that I have flagged.

You will find my feed at: http://del.icio.us/qdsouza
