The social bookmarking website del.icio.us is a great tool that you can use in your classroom in conjunction with search done through Google. Del.icio.us allows you to save your bookmarks for viewing anywhere on the web, but unlike Google bookmarks, you can share your bookmarks with other web users and your students. You can create categories such as Math, Science, etc, and give your students direct links to the bookmarks that you create. A great example of del.icio.us bookmarking can be found here.
To get started simply visit: http://del.icio.us/
Once you create an account you can add the browser buttons to easily tag the new sites that you find. You can then share the direct link to the websites you have tagged to your students.
If your students have del.icio.us accounts also you do not have to worry about them visiting your website. You can send links to them!
Del.icio.us is a wonderful tool to use to share interesting and academic links to teachers, students, and even parents. If you do not currently use del.icio.us its certainly worth taking a look at!
