After joining Delicious, I searched for posts relating to "educational technology". The top hits include: "TED: Ideas worth spreading" with over 30,000 saves; "HowStuffWorks with over 15,000 saves; and "Free Online Course Materials - MIT OpenCourseWare" with over 8,000 saves. Some of the tags that these three have in common are education, technology, and learning.
This tool would be useful if a student, parent or even a teacher was looking for opinions/ideas/experiences pertaining to a specific topic or event. I think something like Delicious is useful to anyone who uses the internet to search out other people's experiences, suggestions, information etc about anything of interest to the searcher. Students could use this for projects they're working on, teachers could use this to get ideas for curriculum or projects, and parents could use this to help them learn about topics their child is covering in order to better understand and be able to help their student with homework.
