ikeepbookmarks - An Assignment

You've been giving assignments for the last 10 months - now it's your turn to be on the receiving end!

If you're like me, you perform an online search, eventually find exactly what you're looking for, but then go on to something else and can never find that perfect site again. So, you tell me I'm a moron, I just need to create a bookmark or a favorite. True enough, but even when I'm conscientious enough to do just that, it never fails that the next time I'm looking for said website, I'm at a different computer than I was initially and I can't access my bookmark/favorite.

I'm planning to share several excellent websites with you over the next couple of weeks and I want to make sure you're able to find those sites whenever and wherever you are. So, before we delve into science websites, I want to introduce you to www.ikeepbookmarks.com If you create an account on this website, you can save your list of favorite websites there and access that list while online on any computer simply by visiting this site. You can even create a public account, in which you create a list of links to websites that can be accessed using just the account name (no password needed to access the list, only to add to it). Can you see the possibilities for your classroom and students as well as your personal life?

So, your assignment is to check out: www.ikeepbookmarks.com and set up your own account (if you don't have one already). Then you'll be all set when I start sharing some other sites with you in a few days!
