Where Can SBM be Used
Social bookmarking is a way to store, organize, share and search bookmarks ("favorite") web pages. With on-line social bookmarking tools, users can save links to web pages that they want to remember or share. These bookmarks are usually public but can also be saved privately, or shared only with specific people or groups. Teachers can use social bookmarking to share links to websites and to find out what websites other teachers are using.
