I was trying to think of a good first post, and instead of researching something else that I can do in my class, I thought, why not share something I already do?<\/p>\n
In a word, \u00a0Linkwad<\/a><\/p>\n This little add-on for Firefox (I have contacted the creator and they may be working on a Chrome version soon) allows you to group together bookmarks into a \u2018wad\u2019, then save the \u2018wad\u2019 as a collective. \u00a0The wads can be accessed anywhere (like diigo, all you need is to sign on), and the wads can be shared with others.<\/p>\n Here is how I use it in my classroom:<\/p>\n 1. Find links I want to use during a lesson (eg. Mitosis), I have some great videos and online tutorials I use for this lesson.<\/p>\n 2. Open all the links in Firefox (usually this will take a while to weed through my bookmarks)<\/p>\n 3. Click on \u201cLinkwad\u201d extension, and save the Wad under the name \u201c10-Mitosis\u201d<\/p>\n 4. Next time I teach Mitosis, I just click on the link, and all the links I needed are saved in one spot. Just a click away.<\/p>\n Lesson planning has become a lot easier, cause I just open the entire wad and can see all the videos and links I had used to deliver that lesson. No more searching through my bookmarks for the \u2018right\u2019 links!<\/p>\n Let me know if you would like more help. Try it out!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was trying to think of a good first post, and instead of researching something else that I can do in my class, I thought, why not share something I already do?
