Week 3- Social Bookmarking

I am in love with social bookmarking. Personally, I tend to find websites, write down the url, and then proceed to lose the paper. Also, what happens to those papers when your at someone else's computer? That's why I really enjoy these social bookmarking tools. I can be ANYWHERE and save the bookmark for me to come back to when I have time.

I was first introduced Delicious to while I was in another class, but I don't remember which one. I was enthralled by it. However, one of the downfalls was that I didn't bookmark too much. One of the main reasons was because I'm not much of a web surfer. I also would get frustrated by not finding the right sites I was looking for. That's why I really like (I feel like I'm a commercial for this site), I was able to sign up for groups where people had already found sites I could use.

My new goal for this school year is to find a bunch of sites that allow my students to practice and learn new skills. By having the sites in Diigo, I can find sites at home and then see if I can use them at school. Like I said before, our school is locked down as tight at Fort Knox.

**Note: I did try to create a picture link for Delicious, but I couldn't get the picture. Not sure why, but I do think the Diigo looks pretty cool.**
