Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking can be very beneficial to a teacher. The main benefit of using a social bookmarking service, such as del.ici.ous, is easily finding needed information for lesson plans. If a teacher bookmarks specific educational websites, he or she can go to the tagged websites to find the specific one they are looking for by looking at the notes that can be typed up with each tag. What makes social bookmarking helpful to a teacher who is using this tool is that the teacher can view other teachers' tagged websites, which may help broaden a teacher's selection of topics and ideas for a lesson plan! Very neat!
