Prior to computers teachers would use file folders, notebooks, and other types organizing systems. This was not always a very efficient system and could be very time consuming. Teachers can now utilize bookmarking tools on their computers. These tools give the teacher the ability to electronically catalog and access Web pages with one simple command. The internet has lots of interesting websites that can lead to people becoming distracted. A person can skip having to retrace their steps and simply bookmark websites that interest them for future use.
Social bookmarking works along the same concept as individual bookmarking. A library of resources are available to many readers and allows others to add to the list.
What are you thoughts about teachers utilizing social bookmarking?
I think teachers should consider social bookmarking as an excellent tool for helping each other prepare lesson plans. Maybe there is a website that you are not aware of that you could find from looking at a social bookmarking library. I also think it could be a great time saver and give new or more established teachers some new ideas.
