Google Bookmarks Project

As a member of group 1, our task was to develop a presentation introducing the class to Google bookmarks. We were to develop slides detailing many key features of bookmarks, potential applications for teachers in the classroom, resources for more information, and our own personal reflections about the product.

I think this tool can help teachers become more organized and maintain better records. Also, it could potentially allow for easier access to documents, assignments, readings, and ongoing projects for students. Essentially, Bookmarks would allow students to login from any location and access their class assignments instantly. Having the ability to display projects and documents for students regardless of location, operating system, computer, etc. is a very interesting capability for teachers to have. Students are sure to love it too. They wouldn't have to worry about losing or converting files anymore as that's all taken care of for you with Google Bookmarks.

Overall, I found this tool fairly easy to use. It took me roughly 20-25 minutes to get acclimated and feel comfortable using it. I think that would be about average and would expect most others to feel the same way about it.

I contributed to several slides on the group project by providing a few useful possibilities to increase productivity, providing a link to a Bookmarks FAQ, and by adding a slide and posting a reflection regarding the product.
