10 Excellent Social Bookmarking Tools for Teachers
February, 2014 Social bookmarking is a new concept that has seen the light with the emergence of bookmarking services like the ones I cited below.Semantically speaking, ' social bookmarking' is made up of the the term " social " which is related to society and general interactions between people, and the verb " to bookmark " (used here as a gerund ending in ing) which has to do with recording and/or saving content for both later use and quick access. Weaving the semantic reference of the two words results in social bookmarking as we know it today : a collaborative and collective saving and sharing of web content.' Below are some of the best social bookmarking websites I would recommend to teachers and students.

How Seesaw accidentally became a teacher’s pet at 1/4 of US schools | TechCrunch
It began as just another photo sharing startup founded by a Facebook exec. It ended up in 200,000 classrooms from kindergarten to 12th grade in 25,000 schools across 100 countries. All because of one truism: When a student’s audience is the world, they want their work to be good. Seesaw’s educational app lets students save and share their assignments with their teachers, parents, and fellow classmates. But rather than just the finished product, students can add audio narration or doodled annotation to show how they got there. Seesaw sounds simple but solves some major problems. Instead of banning personal technology in the classroom, Seesaw lets teachers embrace it. From Social App To School Tool Seesaw founder Carl Sjogreen Carl Sjogreen started teaching coding at a summer camp while he was still in middle school. “When I left Facebook, my #1 goal was to start an education technology company, but I was really sad because I thought I didn’t know how to do it” Sjogreen remembers.
