Thing 14 -- Delicious!

Just being able to pull up my favorites at school is going to be AWESOME! I have sites that I send kids to for different lessons and I'm always writing them on the board (reminding students to copy carefully). Without fail, one or more students make mistakes and then can't pull up the site from home.

Collaboration groups are big at my school right now. I can completely see the teachers in my group working on a project and researching independently but coming together through Delicious to share what we've found. This would also work when working on a common lesson with colleagues. I love that if I found something on the web that I thought my colleague, Erin, might find useful or interesting that I can send it to her by tagging the link as "For:herusername" -- What an easy way to send something rather than copying the URL and sending it as a link in an email.

I could also use it with students. Their homework could be to go into a site saved in my Delicious and respond to it. I'm sure there are even more possibilities than I realize. I'm off to see what others have bookmarked now. FUN! :-)

My Delicious username is marybeth.turner
