Social networking connects people through online networks, while socio-semantic networking connects people through shared terminology and classifications of information. Some examples of social networking sites are Delicious and Scuttle, while socio-semantic sites include Teachershare and Delicious which allow users to tag and classify shared bookmarks and resources. These types of online networks may be useful in education by allowing teachers and students to collectively develop knowledge structures through shared tagging of information.
