  5. An Introduction to Social Bookmarking http://commoncraft.com/bookmarking-plain-english

  6. Social Bookmarking • Bookmarks are not stored on your computer • Bookmarks are stored on the internet • Accessible anywhere you have internet access (school, home, internet café at your favourite holiday destination) • If your computer dies, grows legs or is left out in the rain, you haven’t lost all those great sites

  7. Social Bookmarking • As the bookmarks are now stored on the internet, they can now be shared with others (the social aspect) • Colleagues • Friends • Relatives,and • People you don’t know • Just give them your del.icio.us address • You can benefit also by looking at other people’s del.icio.us address

  8. Organising the Bookmarks • The bookmarks are organised using “tags” • Tags are keywords you create to categorise a website • You can use as many tags for a website as you like - just don’t have spaces in them • You find your websites by searching through your “tag cloud”

  9. A Tag Cloud

  10. Suitable Tags • What would be some good tags to use?? • KLA’s / Strands • Stage Level / Year Level • Thematic words • Others?? • Should we now quickly brainstorm some tags we will use?

  11. OHPS Tag System

  12. How to…bookmark a site • Easiest way is to install and use the buttons. Do it now…

  13. How to…bookmark a site • Highlight some sort of descriptive text from the website and copy it. • You can also just type your own descriptive text • Click on the “TAG” button

  14. How to…bookmark a site • Fill in the blanks

  15. Finding a bookmark • Click on the “Your Favourites” button • Click on an appropriate tag from your “tag cloud” to find what you are after

  16. A Tag Cloud

  17. Finding other bookmarks • Go to del.icio.us/tag/ • Type a tag word in the grey-outlined box • Enjoy looking through the results

  18. Getting a network • When you come across people who have similar interests to you, you can add them to your network. • Can also view that person’s network.

  19. Let’s Start • Get your sheet of paper which has the websites you like written on it (you do have it don’t you???) • Get your new classroom poster and hang it up near your SmartBoard today. • 3-6 will go with Annie - use the OHPS Tag System we brainstormed earlier to start adding sites. • K-2 will come with me to do the same. • Explore these bookmarked sites at your own leisure.
