Social Bookmarking on Delicious

Social Bookmarking was a term that was totally new to me. When I realized it was just websites listed under "My Favorites" that could be accessed from any computer, it made more sense. Since learning about social bookmarking, I created a list of social bookmarks on delicious. Some websites listed are websites I use in my classroom on a regular basis. Other websites I tagged are websites that were suggested by my school's computer/technology teacher. I asked this teacher if she had ever heard of social bookmarking and when she said "No," I was caught off guard. I told her all about it and she said she was interested in creating one for her computer classes. Since then, I have showed her my social bookmarks, or should I say "my work in progress" of bookmarks, and she mentioned that she would share her list once organized. I also would like to link my social bookmarks to my school website in hopes that students and parents will access this and use at home. Parents often come to me and ask about websites and other resources that they can use at home and I tend to suggest the same websites. Through this assignment, I realized that I have an opportunity to suggest my social bookmarks list of numerous sites to help their child. With regular updates and additions, this will a valuable tool in my classroom.
