**Create a blog post about your experience and thoughts about this tool. Can you see the potential of this tool in the classroom? Or just as an easy way to create bookmarks that can be accessed from anywhere? How can teachers take advantage of social bookmarking sites?
Tagging and Social Bookmarking has it's positive and negatives. You can find articles or pictures that relate to a tag or bookmark that you sure, but you never know how much it relates. The creator that piece can put anything in the tags. It may deal greatly with what you're looking for or only one statement or paragraph may mention what you're searching for. I do not have much luck with searching through social bookmarks. I can see tags being used on a site like Diigo so that a teacher can easily find things he or she or other co-works have tagged. This has helped in our Education 3040 class with Website of the Day. I find it useful for teachers who want to share or bookmark certain places. As far as research in the classroom or for students, I find searching through tags to be more time consuming and more difficult. Google Scholar and Google Search have always been helpful in finding appropriate websites. You can also favorite or bookmark the website found then to access it at a later date.
