Chapter 6 (Learning together)

This chapter focuses on the preponderance of information on the web from literally millions of sites with more and more constantly added. This actually falls in line with my last blog about the use of social media and its' merge with the educational emphasis. The same way I would like to see social media become more streamlined in its offers so that participants can stay on task, so to social bookmarking can help.
It will help bring together researchers not in the form of wikis to do collaborative tasks, but as a great alternative to doing random searches. This is a tremendous time saver and should embraced by all seeing that it literally only takes less than a minute to bookmark one site. I personally cannot think of a better way to help find and share sites with others as we attempt to make the web a most useful tool in the field of education.
