Have you ever lost all your bookmarks/favorites in some weird network breakdown/reconfiguration? Have you ever been some where away from the computer you primarily use and could not remember a web address?
Delicious Social Bookmarking can help you out.
Delicious is an online system that allows you to store, organize, search, and manage your bookmarks. It's accessible anytime/anywhere. You create your own subject headings, known as Tags, to help categorize your websites. You create folders, known as Bundles, of your categorized websites.
And... here's the social part... two heads are often better than one. Imagine having many heads searching for the same topic as you, then sharing the website online. You can automatically share a website you find with a fellow Delicious account user. You can link to someone else's Delicious account. My account is linked with other teacher librarians. I have also linked to other educational professionals and every so often I go and check in to see what websites they have saved.
Take a look at my account if you like delicious.com/sabrecybrarian.
North Vancouver Social Studies teachers are linking up through Delicious to share websites at delicious.com/NVSDsocialstudies
Here's a short video clip from Common Craft that explains Social Bookmarking in Plain English.
Once you get started saving your bookmarks this way, you'll be hooked.
Happy to help you get started!
