Do you think social bookmarking and my course should hook up?

Dear ADDIE,
A colleague of mine keeps urging me to get acquainted with social bookmarking. She thinks it will be a good match for the course I am developing, but I'm not so sure. I'd like to try it, but I am not sure if it is my cup of tea, so to speak. What do you think? Do you have any suggestions?

Dear Testing the Waters,
First of all, I think you should wait until the time is right. Remember that the selection of tools ought to be guided by how well they will help students achieve learning objectives. I know you might be feeling you should try it or that you  are tempted by something new and exciting, but wait until there's a good match.

To be honest, I have been a slow adopter to social bookmarking. It has not been until recently that I have seen its merits, so I can't speak from long experience. However, I do see the potential benefits of using Delicious for project-based learning where a group would be working together on an a extended project. Here's a link to a great site that covers all aspects, from samples to a list of activities.

I also hope readers will use the comment feature to add their ideas for activities using social bookmarking.
