add an External Content Block (e.g. for Del.icio.us)
This block could work for other external content as well, but it would be good to have a way to bring in Del.icio.us content easily and display in-line in the site. This will help keep students focused as they browse lists of links on Del.icio.us.

@stevenfletcher - While I agree that social networks aren't always positive for education, the External Content Block suggested here could be used for much more. Adding a video from TeacherTube.com, a customized news feed from Yahoo Pipes, or an educational flash game, for example. Of course the content included is controlled by the Teacher so it's up to them to determine a resource's worth.

As mentioned elsewhere, I'm not sure I think the idea of linking to social networking sites is a positive educational thing.
