Social Bookmarking is a way to save your bookmarks online, which provides many advantages. First, you can acess them from any computer with internet access. Second, you can share your links with other people. Finally, you can benefit from seeing other people's links. The most popular social bookmarking site is called del.icio.us (http://del.icio.us) . Many teachers have been asking me about how to use this site, so it is the topic of my next video blog tutorial for you. You should be aware that there are other social bookmarking sites out there. Another popular one that you may want to check out is www.ikeepbookmarks.com.
The video tutorial in the following post will show you how to setup and start using yout delicious account. Before doing this I could suggest that you watch the video below "Social Bookmarking in Plain English". I did not create this video, it is available on youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x66lV7GOcNU . Please let me know if you have any questions and if you create a del.icio.us account email me your username so I can add you to my network.

Note: del.icio.us is blocked by our web server if you don't have limited restrictions on your laptop. After you create your account, send your url (del.icio.us/ your user name) to Joe and he can unblock your site.
