NETS Summary:	Social software is increasing in popularity. Using social bookmarking helps students understand societal issues related to technology and and practice the use of social software. It helps them develop positive attitudes toward technology uses that support lifelong learning, collaboration, personal pursuits, and productivity by teaching tools that can be used outside the classroom. I had one student ask me permission to use this tool at home to bookmark information about "puppies" instead of a class project. Since social softwware increases productivity in both teachers and students, it meets the standard of learning Technology productivity tools. Adding a social component to research supports collaboration with others to create a group knowledge base. It helps students interact with like-minded people who might be experts in the field they are researching. Social bookmarking tools forces the students evaluate, the information they are collecting. It helps streamline the process of gathering data, since information can be copied right into the act of bookmarking increasing the amount of data that can be gathered in short periods of time. The use of these tools also requires one to evaluate the resources they are finding and consider the resources they might have found using other methods. Social bookmarking can also be used by teachers and other educational communities to plan and designing learning environments (especially online learing space). Once teachers understand the power of social bookmarking they can also reap the benefits of this tool in their curriculum plans. Finally, an excellent use of social bookmarking is provide opportunities of alternative assessments that take a closer took at the student's critical thinking skills. And finally any tool that allows teachers to work smarter, means more time for kids.
