Del.icio.us in the classroom

Del.icio.us would be a very interesting programme that can be used in all classrooms. Teachers can create an account and then all the students can connect so that the class shares a network. This can then be used to share links and websites with each other for collaborative learning. For instance, students can post an interesting website they found on a particular topic to the site, and then all the other students have access to it. This means that the students are learning from each other and working collaboratively to create a database of useful information. Also, a teacher can post links to the site for the students to research for homework or assignments, rather than handing out a sheet of paper with the links written on it. This means the students have access every time they log onto the internet.
