Social Bookmarking

Assignment: Use social bookmarking as a tool in research.

• First read the article below and watch the video about social bookmarking.
  • Read about social bookmarking - 7 things you should know.
  • Watch video from YouTube about social bookmarking and del.icio.us and this video, explore del.ici.ous, which provides more detailed information about how to use and share del.ici.ous
• Go to del.icio.us and sign up for an account (I recommend getting/using a gmail account for this and some of the other activities we will be doing).
• For each of the assignments listed below, create the required bookmarks. For each bookmark, provide the name of the assignment as one tag and then provide two other tags per site (remember that if you want to take something like new yor, you would type in new york as one word , e.g. new_york). Include a short annotation for each site.
• Include bookmarks for the following assignments:
  • Elements of Design - the good and bad website you selected.
  • National Health Observances - 2 sites used as references.
  • WORD newsletter - 4 sites used as references.
  • Web information page assignment - 10 resources on your topic.
  • Excel charting assignment - 4 sites used for chart data.
• Place a clipping of your bookmarks on a page in your Web section of your OneNote notebook.
