Social Bookmarking


Social Bookmarking is an organization system used to store important Internet sites for quick retrieval. I am thrilled with this piece of Internet technology! I have multiple "favorites" stored on my laptop computer. These "favorites" are in a disorganized mess. The use of social bookmarking allows me to store and organize sites in a way that I can quickly discover what each site is about and the reason I saved it.

I can definitely foresee using social bookmarking in my classroom. As the teacher, I could sort and find sites that relate to our classroom projects. Students could look at the social bookmark to locate important sites that they could use to complete their projects. I will definitely use "furl" in my classroom.

Hi Kelly! I totally agree with you that social bookmarking is such a neat tool. It really adds organization to the concept of favorite websites. I feel that I will be able to use this tool also with my students. It helps to organize sites and saves time.
