Social+Bookmarking



Social Bookmarking services are convenient services for ordinary Internet users who wanted to share links to favorite web sites with other Internet users. Social bookmarking is super organizational tool and is an effective method of communication between teachers and students. Using social bookmarking sites like Diigo allows teachers to create their own list of Internet resources for groups of students.[| Diigo] even allows users to highlight, capture, and send information they locate on the web and it can be accessed from any Internet ready computer. In this assignment, I created a list of Internet sites that might help student research mosque design of the Ottoman Empire as well as caliphs and other leaders of the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. In addition, I included the site links to the web-based applications and technology tools being used in the lesson.I discovered that there is a webslide option that allows users to show their bookmarked sites in presentation style. This would be a great way to conduct group instruction regarding websites they should use for the project. I expect students to create their own diigo accounts for the class project which they will use for their research related to the Model Mosques lesson.
