Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is similar to regular bookmarking in the way that your favorite websites are being saved to a computer. However social bookmarking allows your favorite websites to travel with you even if you don’t have your computer. Using a social bookmarking website you simply create a account and start bookmarking. Using any computer you can then access your sites anytime you want. The social aspect of the bookmarking allows other’s to access your sites. It opens up the internet really allowing you to find sites you probably would have never found. Teachers can and should use social bookmarking to find and share sites that pertain the their content area. I believe that social bookmarking is a great tool to have as a teacher, it helps supplement information that you get from just using the text.
