Introducing social bookmarking with students
Anne talks about the process for her and students to work out what new tools can provide and then how they can enrich the learning experience. Allowing ‘set-up’ time initially to help students to familiarise with the tools is an important part of this process. Click the play button below.
The social aspects of social bookmarking
Students are using social bookmarking for tagging, collaborative research and sharing resources, some students are embedding the tools within their workplace practice.
Blending personal, professional and learning with social software
The blurring of identities and networks between home, study and work is something that Anne’s students are beginning to acknowledge. Centralising all information and communication needs within one site is often preferred. This means that Anne needs to be clear about the requirements for using tools to document evidence of learning and assessment.
