Week 3 R/D3

What value (if any) do you think social bookmarking might hold for teachers, administrators, and students?
When students share with other students they can help each other do research for class projects in a fast and convenient way. A study group might all be surf the web at the same time and bookmark those sites everyone finds together. Teachers might use this as a tool to gather information for long term planning. The science teachers at a particular middle school could be looking for ideas to teach a unit on the space shuttle experiments. They could have one group of websites formed to find and decide on activities and another group of websites just for searching out resources to do the experiments. Yet another might be dedicated to finding guest speaker to podcast during class time. Teachers could also develop wish lists of field trips and resources they want.
