  1. An Overview of Social Bookmarking By: Aimee Martin Technology Resource Teacher Aimee.Martin@fcps.org

  2. What is Social Bookmarking? • Sites that allow you to store and sharebookmarks on the web, instead of inside your browser • get to your bookmarks from anywhere • share your bookmarks publicly • find other people who have interesting bookmarks and add their links to your own collection • Magnolia, Diigo, and Delicious are among the most popular social bookmarking sites

  3. Isn’t it Delicious? Let’s watch a video about social bookmarking! Resources: www.martintrt.wikispaces.com/Delicious

  4. Delicious 411 Who should register? Teachers Does the site require an email address to browse websites on the site? No, anyone can view public pages. Does the site require an email address to create an account? Yes, you must have an account to create a site. Are there privacy settings available? Yes.

  5. Highlights of Delicious Bookmark anywhere and share Spend less time “Googling” and more time finding sites of interest to other educators in your Network! Organization—like an electronic filing cabinet for your websites! See what others are bookmarking and snatch it for yourself Dynamic way of listing sites for others to use

  6. Why post on the Internet? • You have the sites EVERYWHERE • Bookmark here, bookmark there (all the same place) • Saves time • Public or private view • Post links for students easily • Share content related sites with peers • Team-wide • Grade-wide • Department -wide • School-wide

  7. Remember what “social” means . . . • Anyone will be able to view your Delicious page at your URL address. However, you will be the only one who can edit the page. You can add websites and delete websites after you log into Delicious. • You can make specific websites private by selecting the “Do Not Share” box.

  8. Tagging helps you stay organized folks! “Folksonomy” is a user-generated taxonomy used to categorize, track, group, search, and retrieve Web pages, photographs, Web links and other web content using open ended labels called tags. It improves searches by allowing users to label information with their own language.

  9. Tagging • A tag is simply a word you use to describe a bookmark. • Unlike folders, you make up tags when you need them and you can use as many as you like.

  10. Tag Cloud- Tags get bigger each time they are used to show popularity

  11. Tag Hints • Tags need to be one word as using the space bar identifies another tag in Delicious. Do not use commas! • Use underscores or combine words • Ex. Graphic_Organizer or cellphones NOT graphic organizer or cell phones as these would be seen as separate tags

  12. What is a Network? • Your network connects you to other Delicious users: friends, family, coworkers. You can view and manage your network by going to the Network tab at the top of the page. • Why should I subscribe to networks? Every time you subscribe to someone’s network, you can see the user’s sites on a separate page and it updates automatically whenever the person adds a site. • You don’t waste your time finding sites! The sites come to you!

  13. Browser Buttons • Save you time • No copying and pasting URLs • Download on home computer • Bookmarklets (IE Manual or Firefox) • Drag and drop on links toolbar in Firefox

  14. Bookmark Information URL: Automatically inserts when using the browser or bookmarklet buttons Description: NAME of the website usually shows up here Notes: Annotate your site. Write a brief sentence with a description of the site or why you are saving the site. Tags: Add a few main tags (keywords) to categorize your website. Then click “save”.
