Students need explicit instructions and instructions to get the most out of social bookmarking.
Students must see the point of aggregating bookmarks that they can return to for further use. Don’t expect them to initially appreciate the value of why they should bookmark.
Students need to be aware of the types of bookmarks they can save. I teach history, so a bookmark could be a link to maps, photos, documents, quotes and so on –it’s like collecting different artifacts online.
Students need to understand bookmarking is about finding quality links and not quantity.
"Knowing how to organise, filter, research, evaluate and bookmark resources online is a valuable skill for students to gain."
