Delicious - Social Bookmarking: Organize and Share your Webpages

According to the Delicious website:

"The Web is a big place, full of new and interesting things to discover. The problem is finding the good stuff and keeping track of it all. This is where Delicious can help.

Delicious is a Social Bookmarking service, which means you can save all your bookmarks online, share them with other people, and see what other people are bookmarking. It also means that we can show you the most popular bookmarks being saved right now across many areas of interest. In addition, our search and tagging tools help you keep track of your entire bookmark collection and find tasty new bookmarks from people like you."

Social Bookmarking in Plain English gives great three-minute overview of Delicious:

Arkive - Website in the Spotlight

The website Arkive believes wildlife films and photos are vital weapons in the battle to save the world's endangered species from the brink of extinction.

So with the help of the world’s best filmmakers, photographers, conservationists and scientists, ARKive has created a multimedia guide to the world's endangered animals, plants and fungi.

At HTS, we have used Arkive in the computer lab for research, and to explore photos and videos endangered animals.

The site also has a number of educational resources.  Suitable for 7 to 16 year olds, ARKive’s free teaching resources cover a range of key science and biology subjects including: adaptation, food chains, Darwin and natural selection, classification, identification, conservation and biodiversity.

These teaching resources include: classroom presentations, activities and handouts, teachers' notes as well as links to ARKive species profiles and scrapbooks.
