Social bookmarking seems amazing! Very easy to use, and what a wonderful organizational tool, something that I love :) So often I am looking for lesson plans or ideas, I visit a thousand website find bits and pieces that I like from various sites but then have no idea how to get back to the sites I previously visited! So...this tool is perfect, now one less thing to try to remember, I just have to click a button!
I also love the idea of sharing. Isn't that what teaching is all about? If you find something good, share it! I see this being a very useful tool for keeping track of lesson plans and ideas. It also seems like you could tag sites for students to look at when working on a research project or starting a new unit and you have sites that you want to share with them. We shall see....

Social bookmarking is one of the favorite things among all the people who have taken the 23 things class for all of the reasons you have cited.
ReplyDeleteSharing is indeed the hallmark of Web 2.0, which is why I believe teachers would really get into some of the sites like Delicious. Teachers have borrowed and shared and sometimes stolen ideas from each other for as long as I can remember!
Social bookmarking was one of my favorites also. I have found web pages that I think will be useful to teachers. Save them at home and then open up Delicious at school and ZAP! there they are for sharing. Collaboration is huge in teaching and this a tool to help.
