Being a busy teacher, using several different machines (home PC, laptop, class PC’s, PPA room PC etc) I find it useful to be able to access all my bookmarks / favourites whichever I am on. Bring in http://delicious.com/ a way of not only keeping all your bookmarks in one place but also searching what other people are bookmarking. The use of this is you can therefore discover sites that you might find helpful in your teaching that you wouldn’t have otherwise come across.
There are several other sites such as http://www.stumbleupon.com/ - http://digg.com/ - http://www.reddit.com/ that basically do the same kind of thing. It’s down to personal taste as ever, I just think delicious is nice and simple, has an easy download so that you can have it as a button in your web browser whatever it is. The tagging system is also very useful (ie. rather than a traditional folder where you have a bookmark in 1 folder you can ‘tag’ it with various words so it is easier to find when you can’t quite remember what folder you put it in!
You can even search for a user and view all their bookmarks!
