My experience with learning about Social Bookmarking was exciting. This is something that I have never heard of before and could not even guess what it was about. I was happy to learn that there was a better way to bookmark interesting websites found on the web. This new way allows the user to tag their website with multiple descriptive words in order to make finding websites in the future easier. What I find exciting is that I can share my sites with other people and I can search for sites that other people have already saved pertaining to a certain keyword used for tagging the site.
The social bookmarking site I used was Delicious. My site is found at: https://delicious.com/cindymiddlet
I became very frustrated when trying to create a linkroll from Delicious onto this blog’s sidebar. I guess I am not really sure what the linkroll should look like after it is attached so I am not sure if I was successful or not. I know that I need the html code from my Delicious bookmark site and that seemed to be my biggest problem. I will need to check this out and try again. What I decided to do was just add a link to my Delicious bookmarks on the sidebar of this blog.
For a class situation, I would at first find websites as a group and decide together what keywords should be applied to each website bookmarked. This will show the potential of the site to the students before they are required to bookmark sites themselves. This will cover the Communication and Collaboration of the NETS-S
