Journal 4: Social Bookmarking
Bookmarking is a way to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of Web pages on the internet. It is easy to use bookmarking! The first step to use this tool would be creating an account in at least one social bookmarking Web site (for example de.icio.us). Basically, Web users can tag save their favorite or relevant Web sites. It is a great resource for teachers because allows them to do online resource pertinent to their subject and share with other teachers and students. Also, students can have an account and start tagging and save their own bookmarking to share with peers and teacher. On the Classroom 2.0, I followed through a posting by Mark Schumann an e-Learning Developer from Australia. He developed this site called Edutagger, which is a K-12 social bookmarking site. It is very new and he is promoting as much as possible in order to bring this new site to a higher and relevant system. The other posting was by Andrew Robitaille and he composed a resource site called: Web 2.0 Tutorial for Educators. It is a place where everyday teachers could go to discover more about Web 2.0 tools applied in education. It provides definitions for blogs, social bookmarks, RSS feeds, and Wikis. Both creators received great feedbacks from all users.
