.:. Delicious -- Social Bookmarking

DELICIOUS: http://delicious.com/SEnglert11

While using Delicious for social bookmarking, I thought of all the different opportunities of when I could use it. For the link I have provided, I included different links that I would find useful for my fellow English teachers and even useful for my students. The majority of the sites revolve around vocabulary. Although I enjoy the majority of my sites, I new one I found through delicious was www.urbandictionary.com. In fact, it is a useful site regarding any kind of slang. I enjoyed being able to tag the different sites. While completing this assignment, I realized how easy it would be to set this up my students could use. Besides using tags like I did, such as vocabulary and grammar, I can also use the tags to make them for specific users, such as for the different classes I teach throughout the day. Along with using Delicious in my classroom, I could utilize for other instances where I may need to have links together for others. Tonight, before I sat down to compose my blog entries, I thought how useful Delicious would be in regards to my wedding. All in all, I enjoyed social bookmarking, and I can see myself utilizing social bookmarking in the near future.
