I have spent much of today trying to get a grasp of "social bookmarking".
I decided to sign up and "play" with a /Delicious bookmarking account. I was inspired to do so by our Lesson 2 article entitled "Weaving Web 2.0 into classroom practice". /Delicious is apparently owned by Yahoo so I needed to first sign up for a Yahoo account. O.K., I did that. I then spent many, many minutes reading tutorials and trying to determine what and how to bookmark.
I need to read much more to fully understand the benefits and implications of this particular Web 2.0 tool. This said, the Naslund article, " An Overview of Social Software Tools for Teacher-Librarians", has gotten me off to a great start.
I'm finding all the articles so helpful and informative that I thought it might be fun to bookmark all our readings for 477B. After much fiddling, I think I've got a start on it!
I wasn't sure at the outset, but I think that social bookmarking might, in fact, be quite /Delicious!

Glad to hear that you are becoming a delicious convert! Do you have the Richardson text? In it, he talks about social bookmarking and provides a pretty good overview of how to incorporate it into your personal and professional life.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of social bookmarking, but have found it hard to keep up with it--it is one web 2.0 tool that I do not use regularly!
Congratulations on your successful entry into Web 2.0!
