Diigo

Recently, I decided to use Diigo as my social bookmarking tool at school. I needed a way to bookmark webistes I found at school that I could access from home. I guess I could've easily chosen Delicious but I liked the folder concept that Diigo provided. Delicious seems more visually appealing in how it displays the websites but I didn't know how I could organize the content - until Aaron showed us during our Hangout last Tuesday...Now that I understand tagging is how Delicious is organized, I'm tempted to try it out as well. Perhaps later.

Social bookmarks are amazing especially the bookmarklet that comes with them. The little tool on my favorite bar allows me to bookmark any site I like by just clicking it and adding it to whichever list I create!! Love it! I haven't done much with it but it's very interesting. I created a list of our class blogs earlier before Aaron created the Greader, which is a better option since it notifies us whenever someone posts (good or bad...?)

I used it to create lists of sites that students can go to for their projects that can be reused over the years until those sites are taken down or outdated...

I used it to find sites that would be helpful for me in teaching concepts.

Here is a video of what other things Diigo CAN do:
