182. Diigo: Web Bookmarking and Collaboration

Activity Description

What if you want to be able to access your favorite Web sites from any computer and share these with your students? You could use an online social bookmarking Web site that allows you to bookmark, and share specific Web sites students can use to reinforce or review course content, or do research for class assignments without the need for typing in long URLs.

Try using Diigo (see Web site above) to save not only bookmarks online, but also screenshots, documents, highlighted notes, and images. With an educator’s account (see Web Site Example above), you can set up a "learning network" by creating student accounts, grouping students into separate classes or groups for online collaboration, or setting up groups for collaboration with other teachers.
