About the awesome iKeepBookmarks website
Click Here to go directly to our KW iKeepbookmarks web resource collection.
The ikeepBookmarks website is an excellent resource for students and teachers alike. This site lets you store your favorite web links on an internet server instead of your local computer. Why would you want to do that? The first advantage is that it allows you to access and manage your links from any internet connected computer - whether that's at home, work, or a classroom. You can also share those resources with others users. Schools can create a bank of useful websites that every faculty member or student can access. This was the impetus for the creation of our iKeepbookmarks site. We now have hundreds of website links relating to technology, instructional practices, and other educational related topics that anyone in the building - or the world for that matter - can access.
Another benefit to schools is that during these times of tight budgets, the resource is extremely affordable. Can you say "FREE?" And for the chump-change price of $14.95 a year you can eliminate the banner ads, add your own heading and pictures, and access other features unique to the subscription price. I think it's one of the best deals on the internet for educators.
The iKeepBookmarks site is very well designed. It has a simple but powerful interface. For example, with the installation of a link within your browser adding a website you want to add to your collection is just a mouse click or two away. Login with your password to your Ikeepbookmarks file, type in a description of the website, click, and BAM! You're done! The website has then been added to your growing collection on the fly. Because you can organize your bookmarks by folders and then subfolders - a hierarchical series of topical folders can be created. You'll need to organize your websites in some fashion because you'll soon accumulate a mountain of bookmarks! When you add a bookmark on the fly, you can also create a new folder too - just in case you don't already have one for say - "Using Giraffe Calls to Enhance Double Digit Division Instruction."
Changing, deleting, or adding existing bookmarks directly from the iKeepBookmarks site is painless as well. Existing website lists are easily imported and exported into your bookmark collection too. Your Ikeepbookmarks site is also key word searchable. So if you've forgotten where you placed a particular bookmark - you can find it again. Users to your site can also look for particular topics within your site this way as well.
If you run across any broken or dead links would you share that information with us? Currently there isn't a way to do that automatically though the rumor mill is that feature is on the horizon.
The Ikeep site also allows you to download or upload bookmark files to or from your computer. Here's our bookmark collection, updated October 5th, 2005 in html format. This will give you a good idea of how large our collection really is!
