Social Bookmarking

The whole idea of social bookmarking is like a new adventure to me.  I've never heard of this before until I entered this class.  From what I gather social bookmarking is a networking tool that allows your to search for sites within the internet that are of interest to you.  It allows you to organize, save, collect certain sites.  This tool will help students when doing research and comes along to many different sites that are in tuned to what they are working on.  It's quick to return and look at what you have already saved rather than having to do your research all over again.  Teachers can utilize this tool for the idea of sharing with coworkers.  They are able to social interact some materials with each other without having to be present.  Others are able to look at what you have tagged and use it for their benefit.
