12. How Does Social Bookmarking
WorK?
The creator of a bookmark assigns tags to each resource, resulting in
a user-directed method of classifying information.
Because social bookmarking services indicate who created each
bookmark and provide access to that person’s other bookmarked
resources, users can easily make social connections with other
individuals interested in just about any topic.
Users can also see how many people have used a tag and search for all
resources that have been assigned that tag. This makes research a
collaborative effort.

16. Why is Social Bookmarking
Significant?
EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (2005) explained,
“These kinds of tools also encourage users to
keep coming back because the collections of
resources keep changing.
It’s easy to imagine assigning value for individual
resources, resulting in a ranking system that
functions as a collaborative filter” (p.2).

18. What are the implications for
teaching and learning?
Tagging information resources Social bookmarking simplifies
with keywords has the potential the distribution of reference lists,
to change how we store and find bibliographies, papers, and other
information. resources among peers or
students, and reference lists.
It may become less important to
know and remember where (EDUCAUSE, 2005, p.2)
information was found and more
important to know how to
retrieve it using a frame- work
created by and shared with peers
and colleagues.
