Thing #17: Tagging and Social Bookmarking with Del.icio.us

I can really see how using Del.icio.us would be benificial to use as a teacher and in my personal life. I have a half a million websites bookmarked under my favorites in my browser. It is so hard for me to find bookmarked websites sometimes, because after a while, I sort of forget what I named them. It would be nice to have them categorized more specifically. It would also be nice to have access to them from multiple computers. There have been a couple of times recently that I have "lost" a website bookmark because I could not remember which computer I used when I bookmarked the site.

In terms of teacher use, this could be very helpful to share resources between team members. I know in some middle schools, all the teachers that teach a subject for a certain grade are placed on a team. As a team, these teachers collaborate on lesson plans and the best way to teach certain objectives. Depending on the willingness of your team members, this could be a helpful, timesaving resource to utlize as a group.
