Delicious delivers itself as a communal bookmarking service. Allowing the user to collect and save your bookmarks online, share them online with others, and stay up to date with new sites being bookmarked by others.Delicious provides a range of services that can be integrated into the school community and not just the classroom.
As users bookmark sites they become available from any computer, anywhere, anytime. This allows instant access to relevant subject information, (as long as site allocations are monitored). If a certain topic is under research, any popular bookmarks are available, providing a larger network of content. As students add to their own bookmarks they are able to share new information with friends.
I forsee the advantages of this tool, but again only if close monitoring is followed. Staying on task without being distracted on the Web is hard enough for myself, let alone an adolecent you has just discovered his mates Flickr page......
