Tool #5- Social Bookmarking & Tagging

1. I browsed through both but joined Diigo since they were the best. I quickly found many great resources for Science teachers. One group I loved and applied to join was 5 creative ways to use flip cameras in math & Science classrooms. I'm not the creative sort, but since I recieved a flip camera through the T3 grant, this should give helpful ideas. Another I immediately was impressed by was Kid Powered Toys That Harness the Power of Play. My tags when exploring before joining were science, classroom, school.
2. I can see using social bookmarking in my class to guide my students in the right direction for research and how to identify key words for tagging. Too often my students will Google an entire sentence that is far to specific to get any good hits for research. Once good sites are found, they can be bookmarked and shared by all.
