Social Constructivism which postulates that we learn in social settings and the construct within Social Constructivism called the Zone of Proximal Development which can be stated as we learn in the presence of a more capable peer.

I am running an Applied Science course and I am going to run an assignment where I set up students on diigo....get them to research websites for information.... collaborate using diigo to build up highlighted text and add comments.
I think this is a cognitive way for students to interact with text and helps them think about what they are reading. Rather than just cutting and pasting I am asking them to consider the text and the meaning of the text. Being selective and researching skills are so important and will move the research agenda further foward.
I am excited by the possibilities of diigo.....also that collaborative write board tool is another application I am going to be using to facilitate group research.

We will soon make it easy for authorized teachers to create many student accounts

For me the pedagogical basis of a tool such as Diigo is found in the ideas of Social Constructivism which postulates that we learn in social settings and the construct within Social Constructivism called the Zone of Proximal Development which can be stated as we learn in the presence of a more capable peer. The social annotations enabled by Diigo allow exactly this to happen. But a caveat (at least for me) is that it must take place within an environment which has some structure to it without being oppressive

students to define words, terms, or concepts in their own words/language; providing definitions of difficult/new terms (in various media, such as embedding an image in the sticky note); and providing models of interpreting materials.
