Thing # 6 – Web 2.0 Awards List

I set up a del.icio.us account. This tool is so cool because it allows you access to all your bookmarks regardless of what computer you are using at the time. With the del.icio.us account you can share your bookmarks on your computer. Then you are able to access those bookmarks from any computer connected to the Internet. You can also share them with your friends.

At first, this was a little confusing for me when I uploaded all my bookmarks. There were some personal bookmarks that I did not want to share with other people. However, you have the option to edit your bookmarks in the del.icio.us account and choose to share. The editing features were very easy to use.

I think this would be a valuable tool for teachers to use with their classes. Many teachers surf the Internet at home to find resources to use in their classroom for research etc. With the del.icio.us account the teacher would have access to all the bookmarks regardless of what computer they are using at the time. They would have access to the bookmarks at school, in the library, or computer lab. How cool is that!!!!
