I like the fact that Delicious is accessible from any computer with Internet access. More accessibility should allow me to become more organized in my use of bookmarks. Working on more than one computer has always been difficult as the bookmarked links were not easily transferable. In addition, with Delicious I can use the web sites of other users with a common interest. Tagging will let me target proven sites and help me find sites that I may have otherwise missed.
A classroom Delicious account could be set up to allow students access to preselected sites for research. Secondary students should be encouraged to set up their own account for research due to the use of home and school computers. Set up could be done at home as it does require an email address. They should be able to access the Delicious site at school.

Good News! Delicious is an available site in the WSD, I would like to see how one student Delicious account for a classroom would work when several students are trying to access that one account at the same time. If that works think about how great this could be especially for elementary students who are doing research.
ReplyDeleteFor secondary students who have email and internet access teaching them about Delicious would be a great assignment and something they could use for all of their school work.
