I believe the "social" aspect of the term is two-fold. First, I would define social bookmarking as the ability to take user-selected webpages and access them on any computer with a connection to the internet. Second, the bookmarks can be shared with followers who can view and share their own bookmarks in a online social atmosphere.
As a student, I think social bookmarking would be a valuable way to get updated information regularly or give me access to additional resources that the teacher may provide.
As a teacher, I think it would allow me to give students access to "non-traditional" forms of media and research tools, while putting a filter on where the information is coming from, me. It would save time and paper, because you wouldn't have to print pages off for each class and it also encourages students to incorporate technology into their learning.
