Chapter 7. Bookmarks
Bookmarks, at their most basic, allow site users to store, categorize, and share links to websites. The bookmarks can also be used as a tool for focusing student discussions and to teach media literacy and critical evaluation of sources. In this chapter, we will:
Discuss how to store bookmarks on your website
Describe some activities that incorporate bookmarks into the daily work of the class
In Chapter 3, Getting Started, we created a bookmark content type using the Link module. In Chapter 4, Creating a Teacher Blog, when we created the teacher blog, we set up the view that collects the teacher blog posts to include bookmarks. In Chapter 6, Creating the Teacher Blog, when we set up the student blog, we configured the views that collect student blog posts and backlinks to include bookmarks. To complete the process, we need to assign rights to users in the student role to create bookmarks.
