Now this is what I call an organization tool! While I feel more comfortable scheduling my daily life using pen and paper, keeping up with websites is a lot easier to do online. I am constantly online looking for information, and being able to bookmark websites makes research (either for school or personal enrichment) a lot easier to keep track of. Del.icio.us is the best tool to manage websites online.
While I was exploring Del.icio.us, the wheels in my head were turning on how I could use it in the classroom. The most obvious way that a teacher could use Del.icio.us is to gather resources and share them with his or her students and colleagues. Teachers could encourage students to use Del.icio.us to do research for projects. Del.icio.us could also be an easy way to keep track of websites that teachers want to use for web quests.
One thing that I really like about Del.icio.us is how easy it is to find tutorials. By narrowing down the topic using tags, I was able to find tutorials on everything from basic addition to writing haiku (By the way, did you know the plural or haiku is haiku?). I am one of those people who learns best by being taught, so I can definitely see myself using Del.icio.us to find tutorials to help me learn.
