 * == Add Bookmarks. ==


 * As you find and read interesting articles--articles that spur your thinking, lead to topics for writing, provide evidence, serve as exemplary arguments, or that just jump out at you--bookmark them. Give them a TAG (like keywords to help you and other members of your network find that info later).
 * You may want to think about how you'll organize your tags. You can create Tag Bundles (like categories) to organize your bookmarks. For example, I'm particularly interested in The Haiti crisis. I tag some articles with key words like //Haitiadoption, Haitirebuilding, Haitiaid, Haitiquake//. I could create a Haiti bundle to organize all these common Tags into one bundle. Or, I could just tag all articles //Haiti//. One tip: Tags are case sensitive and CAPS sensitive. If you put a space, you're creating a different tag. If you capitalize //Haiti// one time and don't the next, you've created two different tags.
 * == Take Notes.[[image:delicious.png width="299" height="141" align="left"]] ==
 * Use the note box to reflect on the information in the link:
 * Consider summarizing key info, jotting key facts or stats, and/or pulling key words phrases you might want to quote (Be sure to put them in quotations.).
 * Make connections. Can you synthesize? That is, can you connect bits of info from various sources and from your own ideas/opinions? How does info connect to your personal views/ideas/experiences? How does the info connect to other texts you've read? How does the text connect to larger issues/ideas/events?
 * Jot questions that arise.
 * Add commentary.


 * == Network. ==
 * ==Use Delicious to start building your own personal learning network.==
 * Locate people (both inside and outside our classroom) that share similar interests. Add them to your Network, and browse their bookmarks to see what they're reading, and read their notes. It's like picking someone's brain.
 * Add your delicious name to your blog sidebar so that people can pick your brain as well.
