Feed Me: Wikispaces and Delicious Tags


Find more videos like this on Classroom 2.0


I did a tutorial (if I do more I'll script/edit it better :))on how to use delicious tags to embed directly on a specific wiki page in wikispaces. There is great potential here to easily share sites specific to a unit. Also I use it to update a games page. When I come across something "good", I will tag the site with games and it shows up on my wikispace page dedicated to interactive science and math games for students.

Here are a few examples:

Cells

Science / Math games

Thanks for this tip. Didn't know it was possible to use del.icio.us in this way!

Hi Fletch,
Now that I am on first term holidays I have more time to browse and comment! I loved your link to interactive maths and science games and thought you may like to add the following:
Interactive Science resources from Minerals Council Of Australia - Down to Earth Series; Paleotraveller (tectonic plates), Metals Matter, Rock back in Time (fossils) and Oresome Froth (Separating Mixtures)

Also, interwctive sustainability websites form the Gould Group (Wildlife Cams, Interactive food webs - great for the interactive whiteboard)

Thanks for the links Mrs. Gow. The geology sites would be excellent resources for grade7 here in NB.
