The URL & Title will be added automatically by DeliciousNotes: You may include comments or a summary hereTags: Use keywords to describe the page you just bookmarked. If you want your students to share bookmarks for a course, identify a unique tag (i.e. COMM4352SM) and ask students to use that tag each time they bookmark a page. This will enable you to pull all the bookmarks saved under that tag into Blackboard. If the tag is truly unique no one else but your students should be using it.

*In this example, I used only one tag ‘jobsearch’ to describe the content. You may use as many tags as you want.

To pull together only my bookmarks tagged COMM4352 (and noone else’s) the URL would be: http://del.icio.us/rss/cweisgerber/COMM4352
