One thing that I have discovered throughout this 23 things experiment…RSS feeds, google reader, ect…..I NEVER have to buy another cookbook as long as these tools are around. When I followed the link from library2play to Delicious, check out what I found (and this does look truly delicious) Snickerdoodle Pie!
Okay, back to the serious business now (sigh).
Social bookmarking looks like it could be VERY useful in a classroom situation. If you have a group of students working and researching together, they can use the social bookmarking to share website amongst themselves on their topic. I am concerned about the ease as to which they can get to inappropriate content. Is there a particular one that provides tools with making private groups and the students are limited as to what they can access? Or would it take constant policing to make sure that students were only looking at appropriate places? Libraries and classroom teachers can take advantage of the bookmarking sites by being able to share with the students places of interests to visit when doing units of study. The adult can bookmark with a certain tag, and inform the students what tag to search for to complete their internet research. The students can use the tags to research at school and at home, and aren’t dependent on using ONE computer. If the faculty is involved in a particular study (such as improving reading strategies), then the librarian can provide tags for blogs, wikis and websites that can help further their learning!
I also like the fact that with my varied interests, I can easily organize these topics, and find things with a click of a tag!
