For teachers, social bookmarking sites are a convenient and useful way of organizing online resources for lesson planning, teaching and research. It is especially convenient because the bookmarks to sites are located on line and are accessible to any computer with Internet access.
For students, a classroom bookmarking site can be used by a class of students to compile sites which relate to what students are studying, thus documenting the learning process. Art teachers can use social bookmarking such as del.ico.us for teaching students art vocabulary, having students work out appropriate tagging relating to art terms such as the elements and principles of art (Buffington, 2008b). "A teacher could show an image to the class and the students could discuss possible terms to use to 'tag' the image" (p. 38).
I totally agree with your research on Social Book Marking for use in the classroom. Not only can it be used for vocabulary for students, but I see it also as a wonderful tool for a writing class. The teacher can show an image to the class and have them write a story about what they see. The possibilities are endless for what this type Web 2.0 can accomplish in academic improvement.
