- Online social bookmarking
websites are an excellent way for students to discover, and organize
information.
- Websites such as Delicious and
Diigo encourage group collaboration and enhance student learning by allowing students
to share web resources quickly and with ease.
- Online “bookmarking services
offer greater scope for research, integration, and
collaboration compared to the more traditional bookmarking
applications such as browsers, which offer limited functionality” (read more here).
- By having secure logins,
students are able to access their lists of resources on any computer and/or
device.
- Students are able to share
what they find online with their peers and teachers.
- Teachers are able to direct
students towards scholarly sources and reputable articles.
- “Tags” allow students to find resources and information on topics they are searching for.
As a 21st century teacher, social bookmarking websites will help me to organize articles and resources I find online into one area. By having the option to create “bundles” I hope to develop extensive lists for different areas of interest in my Delicious account. I would love to eventually have bundles of math, language, science, play-based, inquiry, special education, and blended learning resources (and many, many more!). I currently use Pinterest to organize class projects and activities that I would like to implement into my future classrooms, Delicious will now help me to organize the resources I find. I wish I had an account while I was completing my previous Additional Qualification courses.
A list of 25 popular online bookmarking sites can be
