Delicious. As first I was hesitant to use delicious. I have been using igoogle for bookmarking to store all my bookmarks together and I can also access them from anywhere. After watching the tutorial on delicious i realised how fantastic it was. I love that I can tag and organise bookmarks so easily. I am about to invest in a new computer and I have been worried about loosing all the bookmarks that are stored on my old laptop. In the future if I can bookmark directly to delicious that will save all future problems in this regard.
I also am a big fan of the social networking aspect of delicious. Especially as a learning tool. I can't wait to get hold of the bookmarks of my peers as well as more experienced teachers who may have some wonderful online resources. Often searching the web for tools feels like such a time waster because of all of the bad teaching resources floating around. By using the social networks its a kind of quality filter and I'm sure I will be able to access so really wonderful stuff. I can't wait.
The other wonderful this is that students and parents could also access teacher's bookmarks as study tools. I'm often having parents and students asking me for online suggestions. It would be great to set up a delicious account for this purpose and send people to it. Wow.
