UPDATE 4/22: What do we think of WikiEducator? Anyone? Beuller?
UPDATE: Here's a Diigo group. I don't know too much about Diigo. As in, I just created an account 5 minutes ago. Any help to make it more useful would be appreciated.
OK, this google site is something like what I have in mind. But not exactly. I would like the topics to work more like tags. And I would like the redesigns to be more hierarchical. Does anyone have any better tools for this?

Would a public delicious.com or diigo.com bookmark sort of thing work? I'm partial to diigo where you can hilight parts of a bookmarked site and leave comments, too.
Here's my site:

Diigo group created. See original post.
Slightly out of place but had to express my jealousy and am looking for some links. Somehow I got caught in this loop of math blogs and am quite enjoying myself. However, I'm a science teacher. 8th grade. Chemistry, physics, astronomy. Here's my question: where do all the cool kids hang out for science? Most blogs I stumble on (including my class one) boil down to us sharing demos/labs. So... any blog suggestions of teachers really trying to change how we teach science? I'm looking for teachers, like ya'll math bloggers, who are closely examining our fundamental approach to science education.
Hi JYB - Hm, two people come to mind, Glenn Elert whose students write the textbook and Kathryn J who is student teaching. Maybe they can give you some leads. Maybe there is a void there, and you are the one to fill it. :-)
JYB--
A couple more leads to pad your bookmarks.
I regularly forward Ben Wildeboer's posts to my science teacher friends. (He even has a WCWDWT post.
The other science teacher who I first think of is Mrs. Hoffman. I don't read her class blog, but do follow her on Twitter.
Oh, JYB, there is also DotPhysics:

WikiEducator seems kind of random to me (midwifery?) and not very well established (all I could find of math was stubs). I'd rather use an established site so there's the offhand chance someone could find the directory that *didn't* get pointed that way from a blog.
Plus, all we really need are the links and tags, no need to get all complicated; and it can be dropped into the Wiki later if we still want that.
Thanks for the input, Jason. I tend to agree.
I'd add that Diigo offers a few other advantages:
- Adding bookmarks to the group is super quick and simple.
- Tagging will be very function (search say for all lessons relavent to Algebra1, or all lessons about combinatorics).
Both of those things are a bit of a pain in wikis.
