Thing #17

Del.icio.us looks to be a handy tool for managing web searches. I wish I had known more about this bookmarking site before working on my webquest and scavenger hunt. I am considering signing up with del.icio.us to help handle my research for the Assistive Technology paper. I can see where using this site would be useful to teachers in a networking situation. It would be good to know what other English teachers are reading and marking as important. It certainly would cut down on my search time for useful classroom tools. I tried to learn more about Furl and Magnolia but Furl has been sold and Magnolia is no longer in service. Del.icio.us and other social bookmarking sites could also be used with students if we had a shared account like the 23things account where the students could access websites I have bookmarked for them. I am all for organizational tools and this looks like a good one.
