The social web has made a big impact on how we learn and teach in today's society. There are many things out there that has made these impact. The popular one right now is Twitter. Many people use Twitter to see what other people are "tweeting" about. Twitter is something that grows quickly within minutes or within days. Depending on what your tweeting about and who is following you, it will either grow rapidly or slowly.
Delicious is another service that has impacted technology as a whole. Before, I saved webpages that were of interest to me on my web browser's bookmarks. When I needed to know a site, but was away from home, it was difficult to obtain that information. Now, with Delicious, I can save web pages onto my account and access it anywhere. This is the mobility that I, personally, have been looking for in my many ways.
In my future classroom, I would probably not allow the students to use these social booking tools because of their age, but I would use it myself to keep my online pages in order. I most likely would use Twitter and tweet with others in the education field. This way, I will see what others are doing and what questions others have.
