#17 Del.icio.us - Social bookmarking

Social bookmarking would be wonderful for research at home since it is not tied to one computer. Kids doing research projects, GREAT! The fact that anyone can bookmark could become a problem as elementary students do not always discriminate about sites. They think if it is out there it must be ok or true. I have gotten some unusual information from students and when I went to their site, I understood why. The site very plainly told you that some info (it had a red or yellow light) was suspect, but the kids did not pay attention. The report had to be redone. While I like sharing with others and having an organized storage for tags, it is just one more site to keep up with.
