I like social bookmarking; however, I thought that the Delicious website was not as user friendly as what I already use, Diigo. Delicious doesn't have a "My Library" tab (or if it does it wasn't very obvious) like Diigo does. But I guess Delicious is more for searching and seeing what every one is tagging and bookmarking and Diigo is more for saving your personal bookmarks. I'm not sure. All I know is that I didn't like it all that well because once I bookmarked a few sites I could not find them stored somewhere. I like using Diigo more.
Here is a comparison of my Delicious page and my Diigo page:
Delicious above and Diigo below, haha!
This tool can be very useful in a classroom for the teacher and the students. Because teachers and students are constantly searching the web looking for resources, having a social bookmarking site is great for sharing all the relevant sites that are found. It is also good that the sites are save in a central location instead of scattered across several different classroom computers. Teachers can take advantage of social bookmarking sites by using them to organize instructional websites by relevance to unit or lesson plans.
