Thing #13: Delicious

Social bookmarking sites are extremely useful in the school setting. Students can use a website like Delicious to save/bookmark various websites that they are using to conduct research. What I like best about Delicious is that the students can access their bookmarks from any computer without worrying about saving to the SAN folder.

I also like how you can share your bookmarks with other people. This will help allow teachers to share resources with others in their department. Librarians can also share links through a Delicious account versus emailing a series of links to the teachers (although they would need to make sure that the teachers are familiar with delicious).
