Social Bookmarking

I recently attended a professional development session on using technology in the classroom. One of the things we were shown was social bookmarking on www.delicious.com. On the website you can bookmark any websites that you like. The advantage of storing these in 'the cloud' rather than on your laptop or pc, is that you can access them from any computer, and also share your favourite websites with others. You can tag websites and store in groups to make finding resources easy and accessible. 

This is a great resource for classrooms, not only for finding education resources, but also for storing websites that students might like to use when completing coursework and projects. My page can be found using the following link: http://www.delicious.com/lauraenglish. I have used my page mainly for storing useful education resources. Another useful education resources page is learnit - 

http://www.delicious.com/learnit - which has heaps of education resources for both primary and secondary teachers.

Happy Teaching!
