Social+Bookmarking

In the past, you could only bookmark your sites using 'My Favourites'. These sites were only stored on one computer and once you had lost of bookmarked, they were difficult to locate and retrieve.

Then...along come ** Social Bookmarking! **

Social Bookmarking is a method for Internet users to share, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web resources. You can retrive your bookmarks on any computer. Using tags makes it easy to locate your saved bookmarks on a specific subject. You can also share your bookmarks with others.


 * [|Diigo] ** is a Social Bookmarking tool which does all this and more! Wth Diigo, you can also ** highlight ** important text and add your own notes, called ** annotations **, to web pages. This is great for students doing the Research Project because it shows that you can ** critically analyse **, ** interpret ** and ** apply ** information found on the web. Once you have highlighted and annotated a web site, you can ** extract **the highlighted/annotated information and save this onto a word document.

Once you have created yourself a free Diigo account and have installed the Diigo toolbar, look at this clip to find out how to highlight and annotate the web.

Another social bookmarking site is [|**Delicious**].Once you have bookmarked a site using Delicious, you can see who else in the world has also bookmarked the site. You can then access their sites and see if they have found any other good information on the same topic.
