Delicious links for 2006-12-15 and procrastination….

    Well below you will find some other links…..they seem to be getting a bit random at the moment. The worlds worst website as much for my GCSE students as anything. But the other two are more interesting both new as such Web 2.0 services. Swivel is a place in which you can enter data and find connections between different sets of data. Worth a look.

    Even more interesting is ZapTxt that allows you to set up a search for certain words which will then check a particular RSS feed and if they find the search word will either email, instand message or send a text to your phone.  As usual the txt message feature is only for certain mobile phone services in the USA, but the Instant messaging idea could have great educational use as so many students are always on Messenger at home and so could be recieving RSS feeds to there account. Great idea will see if it works later….

    And before you ask you are quite right, I am putting off my assignment on how to facilitate communication within secondary schools though the use of weblogs….outline coming soon.
