Thing 15: Social Bookmarking
December 12, 2008 by dchildress
We have certainly come a long way with saving “bookmarks”. I remember the days when we wanted teachers to be able to access Internet sites from multiple computers so we gave everyone a 3 1/2 floppy disk with shortcuts to Internet sites! It worked but them we discovered Internet sites that would allow bookmarking to follow teachers everywhere they had access to the Internet.
Delicious is like these sites but on steriods! It is great to be able to save, but also to tag for referencing later. Being able to share and borrow bookmarks with others is the really delicious part. I can see this being a great tool for teachers and students as they work collaboratively on projects. I love being able to join the network of others I admire and follow their bookmarks. How cool!
