While I am familiar with bookmarks and am very proud of my many bookmarks that beautifully decorate my bookmarks bar, the idea of social bookmarking was new to me. Some of the features of social bookmarking are new to me however a few things I read seem to be ideas that were innovative several years ago and have now been replaced by even more innovative ideas. For example, a key advantage of social bookmarking was that you can access your bookmarks from home and from work. Now with Google, I simply log in to Chrome and can access my bookmarks from anywhere! Another advantage of social bookmarking was that you can house websites on one place to share with colleagues. Today, that can be done through platforms like Pinterest. Another feature that was introduced to me was using social bookmarking as a marketing tool. Today, I feel Social Media sites like Twitter and Pinterest have taken over this market.
I think it would be fun to include a Pinterest Board on my class website for students and or parents as a way to share sites with them that I feel would be beneficial. This is a great example of the following ISTE Standard:
Model digital age work and learning: Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society.
