Social Bookmarking sites are beginning to make there place in the internet world and today I got to play around with Delicious.com. After watching a couple of short internet videos on the subject, I found that social bookmarking is a great way to communicate with other educators. I suppose it all comes back to being able to communicate with other educators in your field all over the country. Sharing ideas is the best was to learn and it's so great that there are so many online resources to do so.
I think that it could be used in the classroom in a variety of ways. You could use a bookmarking site to create a variation on a webquest. It is a good way to limit students on what they can view on the web. Besides seeing what other educators are up to in their classrooms, it is a great way for teachers to do research and continuing education for themselves as well as lessons for their students.
I did decide to make an account on Delicious and I am enjoying playing with the tool. Like so many of the other tools we have been exposed to, I find that I will really enjoy this one and probably continue to use it long after this class is over.
Peace!
