Social bookmarking has clear advantages some overt and some covert?in other words some are obvious and some are ?discoverables.? Without researching, the most obvious advantage is in the time saving that comes with shared learning and not re-inventing the wheel like a hamster and being on the never-ending treadmill of constantly looking for new sources. Social bookmarking provides resources beyond the beleaguered media specialist in the building to finding resources from around the world. And the discoverable here is the ability to make virtual friends that can last well beyond the initial sharing and multiply learning through this type of connection. ?Unintended learning [occurs] through the discovery of resources and information shared by others through bookmarks? (http://www.teachinghacks.com/wiki/index.php?title=Social_bookmarking_tools).
?When you add a website to your social bookmarks, you assign it tags? (http://web2tutorial.wikispaces.com/social_bookmarks) which are single keywords created by the user to identify and categorize a website for later use that make

sense of the user?not the browser. Multiple tags (keywords) can be assigned to one website. There is no limit to tags per site, and multi tags allow the user to have any site cross-referenced in as many places as they think it would help. The resultant efficiency and efficacy for learning is obvious.
Although social bookmarking allows for the educator to tag and instantly organize, then share, any website on the internet, these bookmarking websites are unfiltered. Therefore, it is not a good idea to teach younger students to use it. ?This service is easy to use and free, buy because there is no filter, it?s more appropriate for educators than students? (http://www.education_world.com/a_tech/sites/sites080.shtml). However, teachers can use bookmarking for group work that allows the student to bookmark during a lecture and review/share later. Another idea is for students to bookmark a lesson prior to a lecture?pre-reading?and share with the group. Teachers can avoid some problems of the unfiltered sites through monitoring computer use at school and also require to be included on the student?s share list.
Therefore, the advantage to the educator is for personal use. Bookmarking and sharing sites enable the user to magnify the potential of viable resources. The time-benefit potential is enormous. Teachers using websites such as del.icio.us.com will find more ways to integrate it into the classroom, understanding but it?s limitations and its capacity for real world, interactive research.

Social bookmarking is a phenomenon that began in 2003 and has slowly made its way into the minds and hearts of educators. ?Social bookmarking is the habit or practice of saving bookmarks to a web site and ?tagging? them with keywords. Social bookmarking sites are a popular way to store, classify, share and search links? (http://wiki.classroom2.0.com/Social+Bookmarking, 2009). Social bookmarking uses a ?Web-based service instead of your browser to save and organize bookmarks? (http://www.education_world.com/a_tech.sites/sites080.shtml).
