After viewing and playing with wikis, videos, and bookmarking on del.icio.us, I think I would use the free videos the most in classrooms because I can find them easily on the web. I love You Tube and the other sites that are appropriate for elementary kids- using math and science videos to explain concepts has great potential, even if it is one-sided. It would be a nice way for students to teach others too, and share with parents and the community
My understanding of how to use wikis is underdeveloped to say the least, so until I am comfortable, that's on the back burner. I need to master blogs first. I do enjoy the idea of bookmarking and having the tags readily available wherever I am. I need to continue making categories and making sure that I tag sites as I find them; ones I know I will reuse frequently. I am certain there are tagged sites I will never use and need to purge. I like how I can combine personal and professional tags, hide tags, and share the sites I find with others and see what they have too- the linking is great; time is the key to browsing them yourself and finding people to link with.

As a non teacher I would of never thought about using youtube for anything more then personal use. What a great way to expose your students to all sorts of mediums of information.
