Thing #17

For this part of the assignement, I searched a site called delicious.com. This site is used for social bookmarking. By using this site, you can tag websites that you come across that you want to be able to get to at a later time. It's like creating a list of your favorite websites, but when you save the website to delicious.com, you are able to tag the website. For example, if you want to save a website about math, you would give the website the tag "math." In this way, when you want to find the website months from now when you have several other websites saved to delicious.com, you can type in the tag "math," and all the websites that have to deal with math show up. This could be helpful when I become a teacher because I can bookmark different educational websites for my students to view, and I can find the websites easily because of the tags. It's called social bookmarking because you are able to view other people's tagged websites. This can be helpful for me when I become a teacher because I can see the websites that other people have tagged that have to deal with the subjects that I am teaching my students.
