Week 22 Teaching


I taught my husband how to use Delicious online bookmarking. He's an IT administrator at a Cancer Center and always reading online to keep up-to-date. I thought he would really like the idea of bookmarking pages to come back to later when he had more time. What he found out was that he didn't really make the time to go back to Delicious and look at the sites he had bookmarked. For him, if he didn't read it when he discovered something, it wasn't likely to get read. I showed him that it was also a cool way to see what people with similar interests were looking at, and he rolled his eyes at me. Although this was surprising to me, I reminded myself that we all learn in different ways.
