Collaborating with Social Bookmarks Sharing the wealth…

Why Do We Bookmark? Return to a resource later Identify best resources Share resources with others Group like sites for research Quick access to frequently used sites Laser-etched Celtic clip

Old Method Computer-specific location Browser-specific location Binary nature leads to duplications Folders, unfiled breaks URLs Annotation requires plug-in or additional scripting Hard to determine relevance Print your favorite book character on a transparency

Filing nightmare… Internet Explorer Chrome Safari Firefox

Exporting Bookmarks Each browser has a method for exporting bookmarks. The delicious web site has instructions for each browser.

Exporting Bookmarks Your bookmarks are exported to an html document in transition.

Importing Bookmarks Your bookmarks are imported from the html file into your account. Do this for each browsers set of bookmarks. (I had 900 URLs from 5 computers and 12 browsers.)

Private VS Public Bookmarks are imported as private, so only you can see them at first. You may choose to make them public if you like. Here is an example of a private view, and the same list as the public sees it.

Networks Private collaboration between colleagues or classrooms. Filters by collection owners – social groups with common interests. May expose ideas to a greater audience.

Instructional Ideas Create a network within your discipline Tag resources for classes with unique tags (course numbers, etc.) Use separate accounts for classes Tag case studies with unique tags Students can contribute to a class resource list via networks

Tagging Crowdsourcing of terminology Common or unique tags Search and sort by tags Folksonomy: Non-hierarchical ontology that is created as a natural result of user-added metadata or tagging. – Thomas Vander Wal Wordle.net Tag Cloud
