This Tuesday February 17, we will discuss Social Bookmarking.

What is it?

Social bookmarking is a way of saving urls or bookmarks to a common space (a website) where they can be stored and/or shared with others. Rather than saving this information on your personal machine, social bookmarking tools allow users to save these bookmarks to a website that can be accessed anywhere.

How Can it Be Helpful in Your Teaching:

A class can create a collective bookmarking site and, for example, add links to websites, you tube videos, images, audio … things that are relevant to the class material. This information can be made public or private. Unlike a class wiki, which can keep information separate and static, social bookmarking sites take your collected bookmarks and allow them to be a part of a larger community of collected information created by others.

Examples of using social bookmarking in class will be discussed.

Please come and join us !
