Tool #5 - Tagging and Social Bookmarking

I think tagging and social bookmarking are great organizers. These tools would be good time savers and make it much easier for you to find specific sites you want to pull up instea of having to hunt through a long list of "Favorites". The tags make it easy to organize the sites to match your line of thinking whether you wanted to organize them by subject or when to use them or any other way you choose. This would be helpful for teachers and for students to keep track of various sites of interest.

Two useful sites I found were Links Learning and Science Clips. Links Learning has video lessons on math and reading topics. The lessons walk viewers through main concepts, demonstrate the concepts and then ask questions of the view to increase student interaction. It has sections for kids, teachers, principals, superintendents and parents. Science Clips has interactive lessons on various science concepts and allows the user to "experiment" by changing items that are being "tested". Both sites are great and I know they will be useful. The tags I used were "place value" and "interactive science".
