Thing 11: Tagging and Del.icio.us

I think that Del.icio.us is a valuable tool for research. In the past, I have found that I start research on one computer and complete my research on another computer. When I switch computers, I need to find all of my research sites again. With a Del.icio.us account, I would not have to find all of the sites again. I could simply log into my account and find the sites under the appropriate tags. This would save me a lot of time. Students often run into the same problem when they start research at school and try to finish it at home. I could help them to eliminate this problem by encouraging them to set up a Del.icio.us account. The two things they would need to remember are their password and tags.
