Delicious - Social Bookmarking Website

Hi ATLP Faculty!

We are living in the information age and understanding how to manage all of this data including professional websites can enhance our scholarship and teaching. Delicious is a social bookmarking website that can store your favorites (websites) that you may use in your classes and it is stored on a server than can be remotely accessed from any computer, anytime and all you need to know is the website address.

Things you can do with Delicious

  • Bookmark any site on the Internet, and get to it from anywhere

  • Share your bookmarks, and get bookmarks in return (Network with other users)

  • Discover the most useful and interesting bookmarks on the webHow to set up a Delicious account:http://delicious.com/help/getStarted

Here is an example of my Delicious Account: http://delicious.com/DrWoodbridge

I have been using Delicious with my EDU574 Technology Class. I had my students also share their websites with me, as well as, other colleagues and can be helpful in collaborating on presentations and publishing articles.

You will want to install the Firefox Add-On so anytime you bookmark a website, it will go into your Delicious account. It will need to be installed on whatever computers you access on a regular basis. http://delicious.com/help/quicktour
