Delicious Account

I have started a Delicious account as part of my research. (Also because it is a requirement for my coursework) http://delicious.com/scottcarlisle. Come and see how I am progressing and please give me some ideas. I would like to see if Delicious could help my students, any ideas?

Using New Technologies in the Social Studies Classroom

I am going to develop one well researched, useful, and engaging way to use new web technologies in my classroom this semester. My school has recently purchased a wireless cart for laptops in the classrooms. I am the social studies teacher at an on-grounds school at a residential treatment facility. A large percentage of my students are labeled as special needs. I see opportunities for them to get engaged in their own learning that I had never considered before beginning research in new web technologies.

I need ideas to get started. Please send any information on uses of blogging, social networking, wikis, twitter, etc. in social studies classrooms.
