As previously stated in another blog, I am new to all of the internet perks. Yes, I have bookmarked, but was surprised to find that there is an advanced bookmarking program. This is new to me. I like the idea that I can rate the sites that I am bookmarking, and I even have the option to email the site to a friend. I have only to find out how to delete a site that I have added to my list. I like that I can be on my laptop and find the sites that I furled while I was on a school computer-saves paper and time.
I am seeing the importance of passwords as I venture forth into many new internet concepts, this is my only concern so far is that there are now more places that one might be able to view what I have been doing and documenting while on the internet. I have made my password stronger than it previously had been. I also like the whole accessibility thing, when I log on to my furl account I am also provided of the most popular bookmarks that have been logged into the program. This is a neat feature; I found the solar eclipse slide show, and some interesting news items.
As far as educational use, it is great. If you find a great news story or site that you would like to share in the classroom, you no longer need to search for it, you can just log in to your furl account and click on the entry. Also, if you are in need of a news story that is good, or want to search a specific category you can find something else to view and discuss from your furl account.
Now I am off to install the furl it button onto my personal computer.
