Thing 19-Introduction to Social Bookmarking

(Image by marcofolio.net) Hallelujah!! That was my first thought about tagging. It is a useful way to organize digital resources with a system of clarification. My second thought about organizing online digital resources was that I have a safe place to keep my bookmarks. Over the summer, our work computers are ghosted and all information in the C-drive is deleted. Furthermore, collaboratively creating and managing tags with other educators gives a sense of community within each subject.

On the contrary, Web-sites may be labeled with different tags than I would use or someone may misrepresent a topic of interest. That can create a challenge! With the latter in mind, more common tag names are the best choice for effectively guiding viewers to a refined search.

  1. Hello Benny
    I enjoyed viewing your Blog. Insightful. Stay the course. Are you creating some other new web sites for student musicians? Are you using music or music video web sites to showcase student performances: solo & ensemble, band concerts, auditions?
    Web 2.0 is made for the arts!
