Using Bookmarks in the Classroom

The internet is an amazing resource for classrooms and students, but it can be overwhelming. Not knowing where to go or how to consume the internet poses lots of potential problems from viewing inappropriate materials, to simply not learning anything from the experience. As a teacher I can use a social bookmarking site, such as del.icio.us, to organize the internet for myself and for my students. Having all of the useful sites I use in one place is what makes this appealing, but what could make it extrememly effective is the tagging and bundling features. I could tag things by a date I want students to visit the site, with unit names, as homework, and endless other ways to make them easily accessible to students and parents.
