Del.icio.us social bookmarking is great for personal use, but I realize there's great potential for its use in education. I have to admit that I feel my creative juices are running low when it comes to classroom use for technology since I'm not currently in a classroom. I can see a site like this being used by teachers to share online resources with one another. When I was teaching, we were often writing down or e-mailing our fellow teachers sites that were good finds. How much easier to simply bookmark it!?! I also believe teachers could use this with assignments...an easy way for students to find a site or sites to do web-based assignments, research, practice specific skills, or interact with peers. I think it could enhance productivity tremendously, but I'd need to spend more time playing with the site and talking with others to begin to think of more creative uses for social bookmarking, as I'm sure they exist!
