Social Bookmarking

When making my social bookmarking site, I realized how easy it was. I was thinking this project was going to be hard. The social bookmarking site I used was easy to use. The site showed me how to add a button to my toolbar to make it easy to add websites to my bookmarking site. I also learned that I should have started social bookmarking earlier. Not only is this great for keeping up with educational sites, I could also keep up with my personal favorite sites.

In my professional practice, I could use this site to find great tools and websites to use in the classroom. It is easy to add tags to the websites so it is easy to find a website that relates to the certain topic I will be looking for. On my social bookmarking site, I will probably tag sites according to subject. I could give all of my students’ parents my link to my social bookmarking website so that they could browse my site. There are a few websites that parents could use to help teach their child how to use the Internet. Students should really learn about to use the Internet safely before they begin school, and these websites would be helpful to parents.

My favorite source that I found was one that contained 100 free tools for elementary education. It is the first site on my social bookmarking list. The tools are organized into topics, so a tool that you need is easy to find. I do not like searching for a tool, but if it is under a topic, it will be easy for me, and others, to find. This site is just packed with useful tools and websites. Many teachers are already receiving new technology and this site provides tools that can be used with that technology. The teacher does not need to ignore the technology because they do not know how to use it. This site can help with that. This site could also be great for parents to let their kid use. There are fun sites to visit that relate to school topics. Even before entering school, this site could help parents prepare their students to use fun websites where they can learn.

Other professionals could use my social bookmarking website, especially elementary teachers. My bookmarking site does not only have useful websites for teachers, but it also has great information about Web 2.0 tools that can be used by anyone. One of my sites is all about helping with blogs and wikis, which anyone can use in work. I also have a website that is about project management. Almost any job will have a project, so this site is useful to many, not just teachers. My site is also not only for elementary teachers. Many of my websites have sites for education in general, not just elementary school.

Here is a link to my social bookmarking site! Please enjoy!
