Now where did I put that list of websites?

Every time I come across an interesting website, I right the link down on a slip of paper, a handy paper napkin, the back of my checkbook, or my course notebooks.  The problem with this recording methods is recollection.  Chances are that these slips get wet, tossed out when I clean out the car or I forget what the note is about.  Like any organization device.  The initial set-up is the most tedious step.  Yet, the benefit of tracking and being able to re access sites of interest will be beneficial.  While the site itself is simple and somewhat bland in appearance, Bookmark is a easy to use and helpful website revisit and navigation tool.

Library Thing is another great organization tool.  While I would never take the time to catalog our home library, I could see myself using this site for a classroom book listing.


Google reader is another exciting Google discovery for me.  I have high expectations of using this site to help declutter my desktop and dining room table :) I liked being able to subscribe to and tab several of the sites regarding my hobby and professional interests as well as being able to read through the daily news headlines.    I can see using this in a classroom setting to allow children to keep up with the current events, yet not overwhelming them with too much information.  Perhaps setting up a classroom Google reader with a simple headline page would be of academic benefit.
