First, I'll tell my students the importance and the uses of blogs, wikis and delicious.
1-The importance of blogger :
Students can use it to communicate ideas, photos and class notes, improve their writing skills.
2-The importance of Wikis:
Wikis are simple, efficient tools for managing knowledge and collaborating. They're particularly convenient in today's busy and international workplace. They're easy to learn and use. Wikis aren't as complicated as other types of content management systems. With wikis, knowledge doesn't get buried in emails, locked into file systems, hard drives or servers, intranets or extranets, or closed in more specialized data management systems and knowledge management systems.
The importance of delicious :
It acts like a huge database where you can find whatever web link that you want. You will always stay up to date with the latest and most trendy stuff on the web .It can even enable you to advertise your own links (blogs, websites, and social addresses) .You can get the option to filter the most interesting links that will be sent to you directly .The website is easy to use and understand by anyone .There is no specific web browser that you must have or install before using it .
Then I'll start teaching them from the easiest one.
So I’ll start with the blogger .
1-What are the steps to create account.
3- how to post in their blogs pages.
After that I'll teach them about the wikis.
1-How they can create account in wiki space:
a-Add your e-mail and a password.
b-Choose a username .
2-Complete the registration by filling the blanks and make sure to write or save your URL link to your wiki ,name and pass word.
Finally, I'll explain delicious to them:

At the end I'll give my students a quiz about these sites.
