Advantages:
It is the simple process of saving the address of a website in the favorite’s folder of your web browser so that you can find it again later. If there is an article that you think will be required for reference in the future or important to share with others, then social bookmarking the links and adding them to your list might be useful. Social bookmarking promotes communication, collaboration and critical thinking. |
Some free sites that allow social bookmarking are:
Del.icio.us This social-bookmarking site enables you to create bookmarks and add tags and descriptions. You can also create stacks, which are theme-based groups of bookmarks. This is a bookmarking site designed for bookmarking images and videos. Pinterest helps you to collect together resources onto a form of digital pin board just like the pin board you can see in our classrooms and the school’s lobby. Every article or image that you save on your virtual pin board can be seen to be ‘pinned’ up to your board. |
