I am currently participating in a group project about Google Bookmarks.
The point of the presentation is to educate others on the simplicity and efficiency of such a program.
I think this is a great tool for teachers to have. We've all had that weird moment in class when the teacher wants to show us a video, article, song or whatever else to supplement our learning but couldn't find it. With bookmarks, you can save the page/website/document and access it from any computer with internet, click on the page, and BOOM! you're there. No awkward "give me a second to find the video", just a a few clicks and you're ready to continue teaching. This efficiency allows us to use more technology in the classroom, waste less time, and we can share anything with our students. If we find a website that would be a wonderful resource for our students to have, we can share it with them through google bookmarks. It only took me a short while to organize my bookmarks into folders for homework, jobs, sheet music, places I want to go, recipes I want to try, and others. I've only shared one page so far, but it was pretty self explanitory- the program guided me through everything.
For the presentation, I added the slide on how it will improve productivity, contributed to the refelctions page, and altered some of the key features. Here is a link to the presentation: Google Bookmarks Presentation
Very, very cool. Glad you've already taken this tool and applied it to your own personal productivity.
