Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking provides a manner for people to organize different sites that they find of interest by bookmarking. The list of bookmarks can be further organized into categories so that identifying sites under a certain topic may be easier. Another benefit of social bookmarking is that other people are able to view the list of bookmarks. Hence, other people can utilize these bookmarks as well.

I would utilize social bookmarking as a tool to organize interesting educational websites. For example, I would have math, science, and English bookmarks. Not only would I be able to locate websites that have a similar topic easier but I would also be to utilize the bookmarks that my fellow teachers created.

I found the Delicious website to be a great example of social bookmarking. It has phenomenal features and I know that I would find use in it when working on group assignments. For example, I would use Delicious to have all the website references my group plans on utilizing so that we can quickly retrieve the information when needed.
