Digg Attempt 1

I tried Digg yesterday. While I found some interesting bits of information, it felt very crowded with random, useless-to-me content. It was annoying to sift through the flotsam and jetsam of the internet, even though there were gems here and there. While I know that there have been some insightful observations about how this might work in the classroom, I'm not sure that I'm ready to figure yet, let alone teach, a system to filtering all of the vast quantities of information. Besides, if I find something useful, I have to save the link (which I already do) to show that content to the class, because it will be further (perhaps by quite a bit) down the page/site. Digg is still in its early days, so there is time to find uses for it, but I'm not ready to tackle this particular technology in my classroom. I might, however, show it to my Media Lit. students. :-)
