social bookmarking

Social bookmarking is a very useful and efficient tool to use in the classroom. It can be used in any classroom from elementary to college. Because children are growing up with more and more with technology they know how to use different tools, especially the internet and social bookmarking could be used as a great tool to find useful websites. In the classroom a teacher can save certain websites on lessons that were taught and different subjects. These websites could have useful information for the students that expand their knowledge and let them see other activities that could be used. Students could find websites that interest them and inform the teacher of materials that relate to what they are learning. Social bookmarking also lets teachers save sites and view sites that other teachers save. They can use material from sites that other teachers post. They can also save sites for certain subjects and projects the students may be doing. This is such a great tool because instead of losing the sites they are always there when you need them and can view them at home or at school.

As an Albright student social bookmarking can really help me as an education major. I wish I knew about it before this year because it could have been a lot more helpful. As an education major we visit many sites that help us as teachers and sites where we can get lesson plans and activities to use in our classes. It would be so much easier to tag these sites so I could go back and use them whenever I want and need to. Social bookmarking should be used by all teachers in every school environment.
