I will be teaching a different class than I normally teach and was glad to learn about tagging by class name. I just tagged my first item by class name and content. Thanks, Kaye!

Kaye,

I am glad that I found you (on Twitter). I am working on a project here in Athens and leveraging social media will hopefully add value. I can’t wait to go through your archives to see what I can learn.

Hi,
It looks like you would be interested in seeing this:

Pay special attention to the part about Groups, as they work really well for classrooms (del.icio.us doesn’t have equivalent functionality). Here is an example of a Group used by a university class:

With a class Group like this, all students+teacher have a single place to get their shared bookmarks and don’t have to look for that special tag across all del.icio.us users or multiple people who are in the class.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for mentioning my del.icio.us page. I also find it helpful for students to add my page to their network. I require them to add at least 10 links with at least three different tags to get them started with del.icio.us accounts. I also like showing students Common Craft’s video, which can be found on my student’s blog: http://catchingupwith3point0.wordpress.com/2008/02/18/mmmm-delicious/
