Social Bookmarking with del.icio.us

Most frequent internet users have a list of "Favorites" or "Bookmarks" saved in Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. These links can only be accessed on one computer. Social bookmarking allows you to save links to your favorite sites in one location that can be accessed from anywhere. In addition, you can share those links, making them available to other teachers, parents, and students.

This also is a "green" alternative to printing handouts of articles on the web. Since most of our students now have laptops, you can give them your del.icio.us address, and they can access all relevant articles.

Currently, I use del.icio.us in my Computer Graphics classes. When students show proficiency in PhotoShop, they can access my page, del.icio.us/shscgv, and select from the list of PhotoShop Tutorials.
