Delicious is a social bookmarking tool that can be very useful for finding and sharing resources in education. I created a stack of links useful for teaching number sense and counting to kindergarteners. This stack contains online games, printables, songs, and literature connections all useful for teaching counting and number sense to kindergarten students. I have used similar social bookmarking websites before, but this was my first time using Delicious. I thought the ability to group links as stacks relating to a single theme was particularly useful. Because of my familiarity with social bookmarking, I didn't really face any challenges with this assignment.
Social bookmarking could be a great feature for my students in the future. Not only could I use it to find and share resources that could be useful for teaching certain skills and concepts for in-class use, but I could also share these resources with my students' parents for at-home use. I believe the games and songs in particular would be appreciated by the children and parents.
