Social bookmarking allows you to save websites that you use often, or that contain valuable and relevent information that you may need to access in the future. It makes finding these websites easy. Social bookmarking is also public so it allows you to find the websites from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. Because it is public other people can also look at you websites. The websites are organized by tags, or key words. These tags help you, and otheres, find specific websites or topics. Regular booking marking is helpful, however; bookmarking only saves the website to one computer. Therefore, it is not as easy to access. In my opinion, social bookmarking is a useful tool to help organize and share information.
As a student I could use social bookmarking to share websites with my friends. I could also use it to save important websites for a project or assignment. As a teacher social boomarking would be useful to share my websites with other teachers. I can also access other teachers' websites and gain more knowledge about a particular subject, as well as find useful and relevant information for my classroom. Also, some people may find websites that I may not, so by using common tags I could gain access to this information. Not only could I share my websites with other teachers, but I could also share them with my students. If my class has a project to do I could give them the web address to my social bookmarking site and they could search through my tags to find helpful and reliable websites for their assignment. Overall, from what we have read and discussed, social bookmarking seems like a very useful and simple tool. It is helpful now that I am a student and it will continue to be helpful when I am a teacher.
