Social Bookmarking.
When you read that phrase what comes to mind? In class we learned about how to bookmark social websites and how to share them. There are many different sites that allow you to do so but the one we used in class is delicious.com, which I highly recommend. You may be wondering why it matters or how is this useful tool. Well, I have the answer for you. Most people when they find a new useful website they add it to their bookmarks on their computer. This is not a bad thing but after 30 saved sites it can become hard to find what you need. This is where a social bookmarking site comes in handy. The site allows you to bookmark the sites you find quickly but also place tags on them. These tags are like folders. So, when you are looking for something under art. You type it in your social bookmarking site all the websites you saved under art will appear. You can even create folder or stacks with curtain sites. These simple steps can allow looking for websites to be fast and easy. I thought this lesson was great especially in the eyes of a teacher because there is going to be so many things that we have to search and look up over time. Social bookmarking is a safe and easy way to save sites and share them with colleagues.
