Social bookmarking is a terrific way to provide students with materials that often fall under the category of "Resources". It is a great alternative to the tradtional search engines like Google and Yahoo because you can refine the search in a different way. A search based on a particular tag of interest (soundeffects, audio) can yield a more focused set of results.

I can definitely see the benefit of creating a community of bookmarkers, like the K-12 music or art teachers in our district, who could easily maintain and add to a powerful resource that would be available to all teachers. Even if the teacher chose not to personally contribute, they could still take advantage of the collective contributions of the group.
