Workshop
This workshop is for beginners Look at 3 tools that I regularly use in my
classroom Social Bookmarking (Diigo) RSS Embedable Web2.0
Social Bookmarking
YouTube Video – Social Bookmarking in Plain English – Common Craft
We use Diigo for all classes
Everyone has their own account Class groups Tag Rolls WIS Geek of the Week Research groups Embedding Tag rolls in blogs, personal
homepages More effective when students have own
laptops
Making Lists
Lists – Personal but you can share the link (URL) with other people
Diigo Groups
Diigo Groups – each person (account) can create and belong to many Groups. Groups can be public or restricted to selected people.
Management of Bookmarks
Management of Bookmarks is much more sophisticated than other tools. Easy to edit bookmarks, import from other sources and push to other social bookmarking accounts
Adding Bookmarks
With one click add the bookmark to your Diigo Account, add to a list and add to a group.
Highlighting and Sticky Notes
Not only can you bookmark but you can highlight sections of a webpage, put sticky notes and annotate a webpage. These can be private, shared with a group or public to other Diigo users. (not general public)
