I have been an active user of delicious online bookmarks for a number of years and maintain two separate accounts.
Firstly I have a private account which contains all the bookmarks that I use both professionally and personally. The second account though is one which is available to all of my students and contains a multitude of relevant bookmarks covering all of their content. My year 9, 10, 11 and 12 students all regularly check my delicious site to re-affirm content and find tutorials. Students are also able to send me links and if they are helpful they will be added to delicious which gives the students a sense of accomplishment.
Delicious is such a treat to use as its 'tag' system makes it extremely easy to find relevant websites even though I have over 200 sites linked to the account. So far no students have complained about getting 'lost' whilst trying to find certain information. One thing I will have to take into account however, is figuring out an effective way to begin deleting sites which are no longer active or contain information that is now redundant (I fear this may become a big issue in the future).
