These are all found on my delicious site. I could use delicious with teachers in my school as well as across the country. Being able to share and borrow from fellow teachers eliminates the time and energy needed to do the "footwork" to create a lesson, activity, or game. In my classroom I could create a delicious site just for my class, that each student can add their favorite sites to. I could add my own favorites as well. This would give parents assurance that these sites are safe and educational along with providing the students an outlet for sharing their online experiences with their classmates.
