This latest chapter I have read in the "Connected Educator" by Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach, focuses on all the different devices and tools to support connected learning. In the chapter it lists many websites to utilize connected learning. Among them are social bookmarking sites: Delicious, Diigo, Flickr, and Youtube; Blogging sites: Blogger, Wordpress, Tumblr; and Micro blogs like Twitter, and twitter interfaces Tweetdeck and Hootsuite.
Social Bookmarking helps web surfers better organize the important content from websites they frequent by grouping them. Not only can you use bookmarking sites for personal use, but you can also share these sites with networks of your connected peers.
Blogging sites are simply websites that are continually updated with journal-like entries or posts. In the words of Nussbaum-Beach, "Blogs are great sources of ideas, information, and experiences about learning, leading and teaching."
Micro Blogs, especially Twitter, are essentially blogs however it is directly connected to your learning network and shares information quickly and efficiently.
