The Pandia article contains five social bookmarking sites for free. The five sites include the following: Furl, Netvous, Delicious, Magnolia, and Bluedot. Furl has a different name and Magnolia is currently open to invitation only. The first bookmarking site I used was Delicious and I love it!!
Delcious allows me to put all of my favorite sites in a central location. I also like the idea of having those bookmarks in the same location for use at school. Delicious also provides a large social networkfor its members. I think the social network is extremely useful to a professional educator. Teachers are always looking for new ideas and resources. The Delicious bookmarking page allows you to search pages other members have found helpful on a particluar topic. Not only will I use this resource myself but I will also have my students use this site as well. Instead of allowing my students to openly search for information on a topic, I will find sites and bookmark those on a class page. I am super excited to have a more organized way of researching things myself and providing my students with search engines for Internet projects.
