Social Bookmarking Sites

 

Definition

Social bookmarking sites allow teachers and students to bookmark and share Web resources.  With a common account and/or tagging system, social bookmarking sites enable multiple users to pool their resources.

 

Features

Social bookmarking sites including Delicious or Zootool help teachers and students to create common collections of Web-based resources.  By creating a class account with a social bookmarking service, contributors can add resources through any Web browser.  Many of these services are searchable.
