Social Bookmarking

I thought it was interesting to learn how social bookmarking is making many teachers and students lives easier. I think it's a great tool to use that provides an efficient way for students to keep in touch with their teachers, to stay informed about coursework and other academic activities, and follow developments in their fields of study. The example of the professor helped me to understand how this process works. He can keep tabs on all of his lab groups more easily than he could with email updates from students or by looking for blog updates on the courses Web site.

I think it's really helpful that by using RSS, users can quickly and easily access new material from sites that interest them without having to go to all of the individual Web sites! The information comes to you and you check your aggregator which is where you can access it! I would use this as a teacher and select the content I want to receive, tayloring it to my my unique interests and needs! How cool is that! I would use this as a teacher to keep track of my favorite websites. This saves so much time and helps to get the information you want quickly after it's been published!

The social bookmarking site that I chose was diigo. My diigo address is: www.diigo.com/user/tlb310alb
