Shared Bookmarks - del.icio.us

A great tool for sharing lists of web sites. For example, see this List of Top 100 Tools for Learning!

  • Keep track of bookmarks for yourself
  • Create lists of relevant links for your students (and share them!)
  • See what other people are bookmarking

del.icio.us uses folksonomy, or tagging, for tracking, grouping, and searching bookmarks. Folksonomy is a user-generated taxonomy used to categorize and retrieve Web pages, photographs, Web links and other web content using open ended labels called tags. It improves searches by allowing users to label information with their own language.
