The Journey of Tool #5

So we begin today's journey with the realization that our days are, quite literally, numbered... We really need to get moving down this Tool Road, so into the brink my friends. Tool #5 started as most of the tools have and ended up being quite fruitful! It deals with posting websites on a list for all to see. I actually really like the idea. I find that I am having to post more and more websites for my students to use for research and this is a great way for me to actually organize the sites into managable bites. I signed up for an account with Delicious.com and started searching for websites in the theatre area. I found several, but the two that I saved were http://www.TheatreHistory.com, a site for research, and http://www.monologuearchive.com, a really exciting find! This is a database of monologues broken down into various catagories. I know I will use this site on a regular basis! I realized that what makes this work is good tagging. I tried to use words that were logical and meaningful to me including acting, monologue, theatre history, and research. This is one tool that I can see myself using on a regular basis for both myself and my kids!
