 * MY RECOMMENDATIONS**: This is one tool that I have begun to use myself. I used it limitedly prior to taking this class. Since the evening of reintroduction to this tool in class, I have made it a part of my daily life on the Internet. I train my teachers to use this service and have actually shared my bookmarks with others. I cannot help but be the computer geek always searching for an Internet connection. It is an addiction! So I need my bookmarks there when I need and how. Tagging is definately an art form. This is one area where I need organizational improvement.


 * CLASSROOM POSSIBILITIES**: Bookmarking your tours around the Internet would be a great asset to the connected classroom. It also saves time and endless searches. I would recommend this tool to all in the classroom and for personal use.
