Thing 20- Bookmarking with del.icio.us

http://delicious.com/sarahhelferich
The bookmarks I selected all have to do with an upcoming research project that I assign in my language arts classes. Students have to research the theories explaining the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle. I plan to use my bookmarks as a starting point for students to complete the on-line portion of their research. I found this "Thing" extremely beneficial. I can see endless uses with social bookmarking for my professional resources, instructional resources, and personal resources. I initially wanted to organize the bookmarks with files, but realized that the tags are what can really help me sort what topics I wish to use. I also found it really useful, but kind of creepy, that I could view other people's bookmarks. Maybe someone out there does a Bermuda Triangle research project with their middle school students and could just look at my list, copy it, and use it! (I was secretly hoping one already existed for me to use...) How efficient!
