 * Social Bookmarking**

My Delicious Bookmarking Page

Social Bookmarking is web-based programming used to bookmark sites that can be used by the owner of the page or anyone with whom the page is shared. These sites can be organized by the owner in a number of ways using the tagging system. Because it is web-based, these sites can be accessed by any computer at any time, thus allowing the owner great flexibility and back-up.

 * Application and Reflection: ** Social Bookmarking can be used in the Media Center as a tool to aid in research. Teachers could bookmark and tag sites applicable to the research being done, thus guiding students to reputable sites. It may take some time to develop, but then would be available year to year for those same projects. This would be time-saving for students that have trouble accessing information effectively. I have seen Social Bookmarking sites before and have been aware of them, but have not used them with students.
