According to an article (Jackson. l, 2009) on education world website many teachers already use bookmarks for lessons and classroom work but by nature most or the research is done at home and on another computer. I order to get she bookmarks you either have to email to yourself or write them down carefully. But the use of social bookmarking sites can make this process much more seamless, and bring in the social aspect of the name social bookmarking. In my opinion most important the ease of teacher collaboration for example all the teachers in a department can shear all their bookmarks as a collective and everyone will have the exposure of everyone else. If you are a Star Treck fan this brings the “borg” to mind, a race of being that are connected on a mental level with a common knowledge base everyone knows everything always no new or old knowledge is lost with the loss of any one being. Once again science fiction becomes reality.
Teachers can use social bookmarking to share links to websites and to find out what websites other teachers are using.
According to the video Social bookmarking in plain English (common craft, 2007) “It’s just too much” in 2007 there were over 15 billion webpages
Tagging websites is a very easy way of organizing them. On a service such as delicious you can organize them in folders by topic and by tags that can place them into multiple categories at the same time. This is a way for the already taxed teacher to be more efficient and proficient.
