Del.icio.us is a practical social bookmarking tool teachers can utilize to make classroom use of the Internet more efficient. By using a Delicious account teachers can easily and simply share internet sites with students at multiple computers. Watch the video below (created by Commoncraft) to learn about Social Bookmarking with Delicious. If you have more questions or want to investigate and think about using a Delicious account contact the Instructional Technology Specialist assigned to your building.
More information about Social Bookmarking on the IT Blog
Note: Teachers can create a Delicious account, install the Delicious buttons, and make changes using a teacher login. Student logins can view a Delicious site but not make changes.
To Create a Delicious account
- Go to Del.icio.us or delicious.com
- Click on the Register button.
- Complete the registration form.
- When the account registration is completed a new window will appear. In this window, click the Install Button Now link. This program will install the buttons that make using your Delicious account easy.

This is a great way for teachers to guide their students to websites for class projects without using the general search on google for information. The teacher can make sure all the sites will pass through the school web filter and since they (supposedly) reviewed the sites, there shouldn’t be any supprises in class if they are studying Ancient Greece, for example.
