thing 23: Del.icio.us

Social bookmarking is a very interesting concept. I use my del.icio.us account mostly for the bookmarking aspect. I am able to check my "favorites" from any computer. This is so much better than bookmarking to a specific computer. I have not done as much with the social part of it. I think it would be so cool to show this to one of my social studies colleagues and we could share sites this way. I do have one person that I share with, but she teaches science so I don't think it is as helpful as it could be.

I think having a del.icio.us account would help kids to keep track of sites they visited while researching. Especially when they are researching in a group...each member could have an account and they could track the sites that everyone has been using.
