I've just learned about Diigo's new service exclusively for teachers:http://www.diigo.com/education. The new Diigo Educator Accounts are special upgrades provided specifically to K-12 & higher-ed educators so they can easily make use of Diigo in class and with their students.
Diigo provides a powerful online research tool and learning environment that allows teachers and their students or colleagues to:
add highlights and sticky notes on any web page, anywhere, and access them anywhere.
utilize group online annotations for instruction or discussions.
share and interact online findings through group bookmarks, highlights, sticky notes, and forum discussions.
and a lot more!
CNet ranks Diigo in its "Get Smart: Top 10 Research Tools" among Google, Wikepedia, etc. Please join me and many other educators who have already discovered Diigo to make use of its powerful features to prepare for classes, collaborate with colleagues, and guide students in developing solid research and learning skills!
I will post more ideas and tutorials. I will use it to keep all the youtube videos I show during the year. This way, regardless what computer you are using, you can have always your bookmarks with you and you can share them with your students and/or parents.
More to come... have a great summer!
Laura
