I just randomly chose one and spent some time figuring out how it works. I have a few links now. Stop by and visit
I also placed it under "Great Links" there in the upper left corner.
For a random selection, I really like FavoritUs (except for the name..how exactly is that pronounced? )
For a clas it can cater to the creativity and individualism of the student since it doesn't just allow different layouts, but also allows for custom icons to identify each link. You can create one from their list, or you can upload your own created icons.
Using the site is fairly intuitive with clearly labeled tools and I really had no problems at all setting it up.
I can see this, and any other bookmarking site being very useful in education for collecting online references for a research project, collectong links a part of a study guide. or even as an element of a group activity where an instructor has the links set up, and assigns a group to synthesize the information and present it (along with the links) to the class.
New Note* Sharing it is apparently tough to do. I have to copy and paste emails into it to share it with friends. Apparently it's not a "public" bookmarking site.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI am the webmaster of Favoritus.com , and I found your comment about it.
Thanks a lot!
If you need some help using Favoritus, please 'Contact' us.
About sharing links: Click 'Share' (bottom menu). Then you can choose the links you want to share. Finally you can fill many emails separated by ';' and send to them.
I will work to improve it, I think in a way to 'Include All' button. Or a wat to select multiple links. I will analyze.
Again, Thanks a lot!
best,
Rodrigo.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI already did an easier way to share links in Favoritus.com
Now, in "Share" option, you can select multiples links, and send to many friends.
Click and hold 'Ctrl' key while you choose the links.
Thanks a lot!
Rodrigo.
