I think that Social Bookmarking has a very practical use both inside and outside the classroom. Teachers are able to access different websites that they have bookmarked as long as there is internet access, making it easier to plan different activities and lesson plans wherever they are. Teachers are also able to "friend" other social bookmark users to look at the different websites and resources that they may not otherwise have found.
One great feature about social bookmarking is that teachers are able to create different lists that their students can access to help them with homework or research from websites the teacher deems reliable and useful.
Students can also benefit from social bookmarking. If a student is doing research for a specific project and has an account, that student can bookmark a website at a school computer and then pull up the same website at home or at the public library. Some social bookmarking sites also have a feature where the user is able to highlight specific parts of a website that they consider to be important.
As a current student, social bookmarking can really help when looking up different standards and lesson plans quickly and efficiently. I am also able to look at other user's tags and websites to help me find more information. Social bookmarking is definitely something that I am glad I was introduced to because it will help me significantly in the future.
