How will sites such as del.icio.us and Diigo help my teaching career?

Sites such as Delicious and Diigo "shrink" the size of the internet and help the user to organize their information. Through social bookmarking, I will be a part of a larger community of teachers. By expanding my colleague base to include professionals in the digital world, I can utilize their ideas and method in my own classroom. Sites such as these allow me to see what professionals outside of my immediate physical environments are doing in their classroom. Furthermore, a site such as Diigo can help me to organize my internet resources so that they are easily accessible. By adding highlights and sticky notes, I can save the time of re-reading the bookmarked pages. In short, Delicious and Diigo will help me to integrate the information on the web into my classroom.
