Social Bookmarking Explained by Common Craft (VIDEO)
It's just too much. Did you know that there are over 15 billion web pages? To make sense of it all, we need to pluck out the best pages and save them for later. We have choices. There's a new way that doesn't use a browser. We'll focus on three things: How to get started with bookmarking, how bookmarks are organized by tags, and why this kind of bookmarking is social. First, go to delicious.com to sign up for a free account. Consider this example, you are a teacher who often uses the web to find math lessons for 8th graders. Here's what happens when you tag a site: a new window opens and asks for more information. When you save a page like this, two things happen. Let's fast forward two months to make our second point: Why tags are so important. To find all your sites about algebra, you click the algebra tag, and voila, one hundred becomes three. Think about your fellow teachers. Think about it this way. Remember there are three steps to get started.
Social Bookmarking – What is it and how can it help promote my site?
What is Social Bookmarking? Social bookmarking is a way for people to store, organize, search, and manage “bookmarks” of web pages. Users save links to web pages that they like or want to share, using a social bookmarking site to store these links. These bookmarks are usually public, and can be viewed by other members of the site where they are stored. Examples of social bookmarking sites include del.icio.us and digg.com . Most social bookmark services are organized by users applying “tags” or keywords to content on a Web site. Social bookmarking is also interchangeably sometimes referred to as folksonomy, collaborative tagging, social classification, social indexing, and social tagging. How can Social Bookmarking help with my web site promotion? Being listed on a social bookmarking site can drive quality traffic: Websites like Digg and Del.icio.us represent the opportunity to get a lot of new traffic to your website.
Classroom Collaboration Using Social Bookmarking Service Diigo
Key Takeaways Social bookmarking websites enhance and improve the learning experience by encouraging group collaboration and making organizing and saving web resources faster and easier for students. Social bookmarking services offer greater scope for research, integration, and collaboration compared to the more traditional bookmarking applications such as browsers, which offer limited functionality. Classroom collaboration is an area that benefits directly from today's Internet experience in that students can develop their potential for learning by becoming more actively involved. While many social bookmarking sites offer some collaboration opportunities, I have found that Diigo (Digest of Internet Information, Groups and Other stuff) combines a user-friendly social platform with bookmarking features, making it an effective research, integration, and collaboration tool for use in the classroom.

5 Ways to Use Social Bookmarking in the Classroom | Edugeek
Too much information is a common complaint heard from students and teachers in regards to conducting research online. Teachers do not have the luxury of limitless time to allow students to work through the clutter online in order to find the best information. Students do not have the patience to work through less than stellar websites and often settle for what they find first. While social bookmarking is nothing new using it in the classroom is not readily undertaken. 1) moreabout tags – Most social bookmarking sites utilize tagging to organize and identify links. 2) link show and tell – In my experience, students who enjoy being online want to tell others about what they did and found on the Internet. 3) web link portfolio – For teachers who have a consistent access to a computer lab a web link portfolio is a great way to collect what students have read and said during the school year. 4) trend watching – This is a quick and easy opener to any class.
