Social Bookmarking provides an avenue for sharing articles and websites that relate to a certain topic that is addressed. Once a topic is identified, professionals, friends, any individual in the group can easily share and identify important passages in the article and create notes for others to read.
I love the idea of social bookmarking in the classroom. I could see it fitting in anywhere, but particularly when trying to site text evidence and provide reasons for a persuasive article. Students can easily highlight articles to show where information was located, and make notes as to how it supports their point of view. This would be easy to share with an instructor, or to refer back to as a paper was being written.
I would enjoy utilizing this website when reading articles for staff meetings. We are often asked to read information and be prepared to discuss. If this could take place prior to the meeting, staff members could easily voice their thoughts in order to prepare for discussion.
Social bookmarking has many positive possibilities that can be utilized in the class.
