The following resources are on social bookmarking. This category of tools has had a great impact for educators in both the K-12 and post-secondary sectors. The two blog posts by Silvia Tolisano are fairly old but the design of her learning activities is good and they could be revised to work in undergraduate education as well. One thing to note with these readings is that Delicious has started to fall apart and should not be used. Diigo is still going strong and Google Bookmarks is a useful tool (though not as feature-rich as Diigo) that often gets overlooked.
