Can you see the potential of this tool in the classroom?
This tool could easily be used in a classroom. It can allow students to look up tags that other people have put on websites about the same topic. It is a quick and easy way to access multiple websites at once. It also allows students to save those websites and access them from any computer. For my classroom, I could see its potential, but I don't believe my students would be using it very often. First of all, you have to be careful with websites like that because it doesn't exactly cater to younger people. I'd have to be careful on what would pop up because people may tag it with obscene things that are not meant for children.
How can teachers take advantage of social bookmarking sites?
As a teacher, it is important to help your students find things as much as possible. Your students, especially for older grades, could use these sites to bookmark websites that helped them for their projects and tag them. This could allow other students to see what their peers have found and possibly use them to their advantage as well.
