Social Bookmarking

I have to say that everything I have done in my Web 2.0 course so far I have liked and will continue to use after the course is over. I am not so sure about switching over to Social Bookmarking though. Perhaps after I have worked with it a little more I will find it easier to use than the standard web browser bookmark section. I know that if I bought a new computer, etc. I would definitely use Delicious to save all of my bookmarks, but right now I think the regular bookmarks on the web browser is easier to use and organize.

In class, however, I would use social bookmarking as a year long assignment and I would break my students into groups and ask that each group contribute one website per unit to the course social bookmark page. This way we would add 4 or 5 new websites at the completion of each unit and by the end of the course we would have plenty of great web resources to use in future years. This would satisfy the NETS-S standard of "Technology Operations and Concepts" because my students would become familiar with social bookmarking and, by the end of the course, understand how it works and how it is applicable to their own learning.
