Thing # 17

I think this is a useful tool. As of late, I have become frustrated with how ridiculously overloaded web searches have become. Even T.V. commercials for search engines like BING touch on the subject. You type in one word or try to be specific and you are wasting time filtering through useless sites and random unimportant needless information since anyone can create or upload anything they want and tag it as anything they want. Sites like www.delicious.com allow you to search through items that you need that are verified by reliable sources or pinpoint what you are looking for. I looooove google but it can be frustrating. This allows you to view collections that are relevant to you and what you are probably looking for. This would be highly useful in a classroom because you don't want your students to stumble upon half the stuff that is out there. Creating a collection or directing their attention to a specific collection of links would be very helpful and time saving.
