Include your Delicious username in this blog post so that others can view the bookmarks that you have chosen to share. Then reflect on how you think social bookmarking can be used in your teaching. Does Delicious seem to be a tool that can enhance your productivity?
My Delicious user name is ljhardin (unoriginal but easy for me to remember with all of these accounts for new Web 2.0 stuff!!)
I have used a social bookmarking site in the past called Backflip. It works somewhat differently than Delicious ... but essentially allows a person to save their bookmarks and organize them. I created lists of sites for units taught in 6th grade dealing with Canada
It allowed for the creation of pages with a number of links. I haven't used it in a while but found it useful if a bit awkward. Still, I was able to essentially create a web page that students and other teachers could access from the web to use the links. That is a feature I like and I haven't see the equivalent in Delicious.
For my personal organization, I think that social bookmarking can be very useful. Within a defined group, sharing bookmarks this way can work but I think to be successful requires a bit of coordination.

Delicious is different than Backflip, but you can create a page of links for a given topic. Associate a tag with all of the sites you want your students to be able to use - like "Canada." Then send them to http://delicious.com/ljhardin/Canada for all the sites you have identified.
