Thing #17 - Social Bookmarking

If you visit a lot of sites on a regular basis, this would be delicious. It is similar though to a lot of the other tools I have learned about in this class for bookmarking pages.

Can you see the potential of this tool in the classroom? I can see this being a great tool for teachers who have found online resources that they will want to use year after year. The lesson may only last a week and the educator not have to look at the site again until the next year. This allows a great way to track those useful sites in one location. It is great that the information can also be shared easily with others. Sharing resources is key in all professions.
I am a creature of habit and have my favorites organized by topic area through Internet Explorer. It works great but does not allow me easy share aspects this application does.
