A place for bookmarking your online sources
"Delicious is the place to collect and showcase your passions from across the web. Save what you like - videos, pictures, tweets, blog posts, or articles - on topics you enjoy and compile them into one themed stack for easy sharing."
How to use delicious in school
For me delicious is irreplaceable. In school I like working with communicational and individual tasks. Therefore there is nothing better than training the kids preparing good presentations. However if you want them to use appropriate online sources, you better make sure of that beforehand.
Than delicious is your most precious tool. You can create a stack with collected online sources which are only visible to your students (if you like). On the other hand your private stacks can be hidden so only you have access to them. The advantageous part is, you do not have print out handouts anymore or write the link on a chalkboard. Everything your students need is a free delicious account and they have all the varieties of useful information for their presentation.
For you as a teacher it is helpful because you have all your important web links stored online so you can access them from every computer and not only from your favorite link list which is on your computer.
