Thing #17

I love, love, love del.icio.us!  A friend introduced us about a year or so ago, and I use this bookmarking site often to organize and share my bookmarks.  About a month ago, I joined a listserv for teachers of English.  We share our del.icio.us bookmarked sites often.  In fact, it is the preferred method of sharing information (even if a teacher uses a different bookmark management site).  It is super easy to just send a colleague the list of bookmarks for resources they need instead of typing in a bunch of sites or spending way too long uploading and sending files. 

I really wouldn't use this in the classroom.  However, I see the value in using this when students are researching.  They can just send me their bookmarks, and I can make sure they are researching in the best way and looking through proper sources.
