Thing #13: Tagging and Discover Del.icio.us

del.icio.us, furl-Oh my! Social bookmarking and tagging will definitely help me get organized and decrease the time spent searching for the right book for a reluctant reader or an avid reader in my classroom. del.icio.us will also be a great site for setting up student research projects, allowing me to guide students to more controlled sources. By accessing this account, students can use whatever tag they have assigned to the project and help them access other sites as well. By tagging my favorite sites, students could also access from home, as well as in the lab. A collection of professional articles, books, or excerpts could be tagged for easy access to be shared with co-workers in all departments.
