Social bookmarking--the name for a variety of web 2.0 tools that allow you to collect and share your favorite websites--has been around for a while, with Delicious and Diigo leading the pack. Both of these sites have evolved quite a bit since their debut several years ago. Now there's Pearltrees. My colleague Christine used it just the other day to create a collection of websites she will have teachers explore next week. Below you see an example from their site that shows how someone used it to create a collection of resources for the Common Core Standards.
Take a look and give it a try. (Or, if you prefer, try out Diigo or Delcious.) (In all cases you'll have to create an account.) I think social bookmarking has application both as a teacher productivity tool AND as a way to share sites with students. What do you think?
