Thing #17: Delicious

Delicious is a bookmarking site that lets you access your bookmarks from anywhere. It is very similar to Diigo, but I actually liked it more because of its clean and simple navigation. Though there are many sites for online bookmarking, I think this is a good one to use in the classroom. When you pull it up it shows "Me" which is YOUR links, as opposed to advertisements or things that other people post. You can be sure that what you show your students will be what you planned to show them, which is good because you never know when using the internet. This is the reason teachers MUST take advantage of social bookmarking sites. You can't just Google everything you want to show your students, because it isn't a site that can always be trusted.
