Social Bookmarking

I was first introduced to social bookmarking while taking the online Cloud Computing course.  I was required to set up an account and begin bookmarking. I chose Diigo as my bookmarking site and I have loved it every since.  In the past I would bookmark sites in whatever browser I am using which up until very recently was Safari.   However, when I am in school I have to use Mozilla to access the attendance and grading program.  If I am looking for a bookmark, I have to open another browser and then look through my bookmarks to find what I am looking for.  With Diigo, the bookmarks are no longer saved in the browser and are now accessible from any browser.

For this course, I did set up a Delicious account, but I am already comfortable using Diigo.  I thought perhaps I could use Diigo for my personal bookmarks, and Delicious for bookmarks I want to share with students or colleagues.  I think the best way for me to use Delicious with my students would be to bookmark sites where I would like them to do their research.  This requires some extra time on my part, but keeps students from spending too much time "Googling" information, some of which might not be reliable.  Another use, might be for students to share the sites they have bookmarked with their fellow classmates as well as with me.   They could do this as part of a collaborative class project.  This would meet:  NETS - S standard 2, Communication and Collaboration, as wells as standard 3, Research and Information Fluency.
