Module 7: Social bookmarking using Delicious

I think that Delicious is a great idea. I have hundreds of websites bookmarked on Internet Explorer on my laptop. I wanted to switch to another browser but decided no to because I thought that I would lose all my favorites. Delicious will allow me to access my bookmarks anywhere using any browser. I still have not transferred all my bookmarks across because my favourites folder is just too messy!!!

The tagging option is great. As I wrote, my current favourites folder is a big mess with folders everywhere and duplicates. I often save a website and then cannot find it again. I think that tagging my bookmarks as I go will make me a lot more organised.

The idea of sharing favourites is great especially with other science teachers. I know a couple of teachers who spend a lot of time online researching interesting resources and it will be great to use some of these. I could also imagine sharing websites with my students especially senior students (I only teach Years 7 to 10 right now.
