I think that Social Bookmarking is a great tool to use in classrooms, especially to help students navigate the World Wide Web successfully. I think it is an activity that can not only help students but can help teachers collaborate effectively, which is a huge buzz word in education today.
1. Teachers can use this site effectively as a way to limit the sites students can work on for an internet activity. Increasingly, the concern is that students will find information on the web that is inappropriate, false, biased, or a combination of all three. By starting a delicious account you can limit the sites that are appropriate and give students a web page to browse off of. This eliminates many of the problems that are part of the web with students, and it teaches students responsibility with the web.
2. The second way teachers can use it is as a way to collaborate. Teachers could use the site to bookmark information that they find viable. This could allow teachers a way to collaborate and share great resources without having the time to meet.
