However, I’m not entirely convinced that Diigo is the best tool to implement within the schools.
For example, does Diigo distract more than it helps?

It has a host of features and can function much like an extension of Facebook. While I have argued that Facebook and such are not bad things, I think it is worth discussing here what it does for classroom management and how sustainable is it if a teacher or librarian had to constantly monitor it, which given the features would be a reality.

Okay, here it is. I’m dumping Zotero, Delicious, and Google Notebook for Diigo. Blasphemy to some, I know, but I can basically get all I need in one:
Beyond this comparison, I find Diigo to be aesthetically pleasing compared to Zotero and Delicious. Not to mention, their is a Facebook-ish feel in terms of the community features of Diigo that really help to extend the learning community more so than Zotero or Delicious.
Just take a look and you’ll see all that Diigo has to offer!

Here I was using Diigo, Delicious, Google Notebook, and Zotero for my researching, bookmarking, annotating, and sharing. While all strong tools in their own right, it is pretty clear looking at this list that this is what some would call OVER DOING IT!

- Lists
- Slideshow: A slideshow based upon a tag complete with screen-shot of the page and annotations
- Watchlist: Add a tag that you want watched and it feeds in all bookmarks tagged with that term
- Groups: Form social groups based upon common interests
- Save Elsewhere: This tool posts all bookmarks from Diigo to other tools like Delicious. Great feature for those that want to maintain Delicious because a network has already formed there.
- Blog: A really powerful way to blog about your Diigo work. A lot stronger than Delicious. I’m often annoyed by all the link posts (use to advocate for it) but this allows for a better post with the link.
- Twitter Post: What can I say? I love anything that interacts this efficiently and effectively with Twitter. All you have to do is click Send > Twitter and you’ll get a popup to complete your Tweet. Very slick!
- Enhanced Link Roll: This is really cool and a great feature for websites. Not only do you display your latest links, these links display your annotations!
- Diigolet: A great way to use Diigo without having to download the toolbar. This helps in schools where the toolbar might be a bit of a struggle to get installed.
can admit that streamlining isn’t the only reason for Diigo. There simply are some great toys built into this tool that I’m anxious to use at a great depth (something I can do by lessening the amount of tools I’m using).

Vicki DavisOkay, here it is. I’m dumping Zotero, Delicious, and Google Notebook for Diigo. Blasphemy to some, I know, but I can basically get all I need in one: This chart by Ryan Bretag summarizes what the sites can dol. he left off a few but this is great.

andrea blancoIt started with one student saying “a lot of these tools do the same thing” and
another student later pointing out that the Diigo tool I mentioned did the same
thing as Zotero and Delicious. -

Caroline O'BannonComparison chart of features in several web 2.0 applications : Zotero, Del.icio.us and diigo. Don't need to use all of them as he points out in this post, because Diigo covers most of the functions of all compared.

Toys in the Sandbox
I can admit that streamlining isn’t the only reason for Diigo. There simply are some great toys built into this tool that I’m anxious to use at a great depth (something I can do by lessening the amount of tools I’m using).

Finally, Diigo has dominated the discussion in various areas of my Network of late and I’m sure that will only continue (I took the over on 42 posts this week in the blogosphere), so it is a great time to join the conversation. One great place is on Classroom 2.0 where Maggie Tsai, the founder of Diigo, spoke on Classroom 2.0 Live today about Diigo. Be sure to check it out!

School Setting
For my personal learning environment, Diigo is the perfect way for me to streamline my tools without sacrificing quality. However, I’m not entirely convinced that Diigo is the best tool to implement within the schools.
For example, does Diigo distract more than it helps? It has a host of features and can function much like an extension of Facebook. While I have argued that Facebook and such are not bad things, I think it is worth discussing here what it does for classroom management and how sustainable is it if a teacher or librarian had to constantly monitor it, which given the features would be a reality. With a combination Delicious and Zotero, there is little to no concerns from the perspective of potential misuse of the tool as the social networking components are minimal — non-existent in Zotero.
This is one of those great conversations where educational technologists and librarians together will determine the best answer, and I know that the three outstanding librarians at GBN will have so much to add to all of this as we look to finding the best possible fit for our students and teachers.

Great points Sue. For my Personal Learning Environment, Diigo is the perfect fit. For the school setting, it seems like the logical choice on the surface, but I have some concerns and do feel the librarians are critical in discussing whether or not Diigo fits into the overall scheme.
One of those concerns is if Diigo is too much Social Networking. I know that could get me into trouble with the masses, but there are so many features in Diigo that could raise concerns over monitoring. Where with Delicious and Zotero, each one is very specific and there is little to no concerns from the perspective of potential misuse of the tool.

If for nothing else, the easy navigation of my links, the ability to create lists (and webslide them) and what I can do with grabbing little snippets from sites — has made this a very valuable tool.
