Today I spent an unmentionable amount of hours trying to yet again organise the mass of links/resources/info I have collected, been referred to or recommended. I am slowly getting closer, at least my categories in delicious are starting to make more sense to me – I must have renamed, re-organised the tags a multiple of times now, but I think I am starting to get a system I can get a handle on. Unfortunately there is still a huge mass of resources I haven’t yet had time to tag.

Information navigation skills are essential for our students, but so are information management skills! There are just so many resources and great sites available to us now, I barely have time to tag and organize them all – much less actually explore them. And there are so many great resources I’d love to have a decent look at. So my new system in delicious is that tags that are sorted and I can refer to when needed are differentiated from those that I still have to spend some time exploring (the ones to be explored yet have an * at the end of the tag).

The tag bundles in delicious are great for me as I can group my tags in related bunches: http://delicious.com/pruesalter

I have also put a selection of tools on a page on this blog: http://psalter.edublogs.org/tools/
Although I haven’t explored them all in detail, at least I am getting to know what is out there. Any other suggestions or comments on existing tools on this page are gratefully received!
