Social Authorship: Networking del.icio.us research
Today's workshop aims to introduce you to the power of social networking by combining our efforts.
List of Subjects
First, we need to create a list of 8 to 10 subjects we wanted researched. Everyone will be responsible for one topic.
Setting Up del.icio.us Accounts
- Open del.icio.us in either a new tab or window.
- Fill out the registration form (link is on the top left corner of the screen). You will have to check your email for a confirmation email.
- Next, we want to add a few buttons to our browser bar. While I recommend using all three, you will want the "post" button for today's workshop.
What is tagging?
- Santos will give a brief demonstration of how to post and talk about "tagging."
- Demonstrate a del.icio.us search w/ "invention" (and then "invention" w/ "composition").
Divide and Conquer
For this stage, search the internet for resources. I have provided a list of likely helpful engines and sites, but feel free to use any resource.
Combine and Share
- With our remaining time, which is hopefully around 20 minutes, we want to network to each other's accounts
