Bookmarking and tagging becomes organized with Delicious. I can think of so many things that make this site useful to my life. By habit, I will focus on research and gather sources for a paper or project with no intention of doing more than gathering it. I may not come back to it for a week or longer. Bookmarking sites and filing those into a stack that is accessible when I come back to it seems so much easier. In addition, If working on a group project, it would be easy to access each others sources. In business, I can take a project I am working on and gather all the best information I can find and file it so that I can come back to it at any date.
I began a stack named "Songplugger". I am in the process of hiring a songplugger for my publishing company. This is the hardest and most important task as my role as a publisher. I was able to view sites and then files those together by clicking on Delicious that I added to my tool bar. Delicious' resourceful bookmarking strategy goes steps beyond a simple journal and makes tagging another luxury of this tool. Tags are the best way to find material that is available on a certain subjects or in relation to key words that become tags by the author or user. For instance, when we searched educational technology many useful links were displayed. Clicking on a tag would serve the same way on this site. Comments were displayed to add further ratings on the bookmark or tag.
I see many uses for this in the classroom. As I mentioned, how useful it would be for me as a student above on research projects. It would be the same for any student. A teacher could make a stack for her classes with valuable resources that could be accessed from anywhere by any number of students.
