Thing #17

Can you see the comments they added about this bookmark or the tags they used to categorize this reference? 
I looked at howstuffworks.com which was under the comment learn how everything works and had the tags reference, howto, science, technology, and education. The web page was actually very interesting and I found myself side track for quite a while. 

Can you see the potential of this tool in the classroom? Or just as an easy way to create bookmarks that can be accessed from anywhere? How can teachers take advantage of social bookmarking sites?
 I can defiantly see the usefulness of tagging and social book marking in the classroom. For instance I searched Delicious for history education and the results included several very academic sources for historical information. It could also be used as a tool to research specific historical topics or issues related to reading and writing in history which are becoming a focus in education.
