Reflection (week 4) - Social bookmarking & defining our field

Social bookmarking & defining our field. 

Social bookmarks allow teachers to locate, store, tag and annotate online resources to access them from any computer and share them with the educational community. That's why DELICIOUS becomes an innovative tool that can be used in teaching because it allows us to create a library on the subjects of our interest, enables us to access the library from other users, share and collaborate on posts selection of topics of interest, which is an added value to the daily work of the teacher and his updating thru his work.

It is an online activity in which users can store and categorize favorite links that can be shared with others. Even users can add other favorite to their collection and subscribe to other users' lists. The contents of the linked files are organized into what are known as "tags".

Among the advantages of DELICIOUS, I appreciated its use as a resource for students and teachers to continue developing a list of links in a class, as it is a tool in which students can include links related to their research project. Therefore this technology helps to improve learning and here is my DELICIOUS webpage.

In the development process of every day, I can say can be noticed a requirement of the use of information technologies because new generations are more identified through these media, so social bookmarking is an excellent alternative as they are consistent with the reality of the times and are also easy to use. The communication can be maintained between the employee and the employer, as these technologies enable the creation of discussion forums, feedback and new ideas (Reiser & Dempsey, 2012). In addition, through these tools, chats can be conducted, video conferencing is possible, also virtual training and continuous feedback, so by an effective communication can be built an integrated working environment, leading to good results in favor of the achievements of the institution.
