Best Social Bookmarking and Digital Curation Tools for Teachers and Students
In today’s post, I share with you this collection of what I believe are some of the best social bookmarking and digital curation tools for teachers and students. Using these tools, you will be able to instantly bookmark web pages, videos, images, and any type of web content and save it to your personal library to access at your own pace anytime, anywhere.
Some of these bookmarking tools offer collaborative features allowing you to share your bookmarks with colleagues and edit resources together. As a teacher, you can use these social bookmarking tools for a wide variety of educational purposes including:
- Aggregate educational resources into a single page to share with students
- Collect digital resources for a shared project
- Divide students into groups, provide a research assignment, and encourage students to search the web and collect and share resources with each other
- Encourage students to use web annotation tools to highlight and add comments to curated content.
- Some of these bookmarking tools allow you to create magazines and newspapers out of your curated content, a feature you can use for your classroom newspaper, and many more.
