A teacher could set up an account for each class, tag resources and make the URL available to the class. As the work is web-based it can be modified and updated from any Internet connected computer. Likewise students can access the resources from any Internet connected computer. A specific tag (within a group of tags) could be used to direct individual students to specific readings or resources. A collaborative account could be created, the username and password shared by a class or group of students who could then tag and share resources. Library staff could maintain a list of tags specifically relevant to their school's curriculum Many of bookmarking services also have RSS feeds, so students who use a news aggregator can see new postings automatically. Network with other educators around the globe who share your interests. Create social bookmark accounts for your school's academic departments. Teachers within the department all contribute to the growing database of web resources. Contact other people for professional networking, based on their social bookmarks. Allow yourself and your students to share bookmarks on research topics. Subscribe to someone's bookmarks via RSS and receive updates whenever they add new websites. Collaborate on projects with other schools, sharing bookmarks between all participating communities.
