Uses for Diigo
#1: As you surf the web, bookmark resources for later use,
adding specific tags for easy retrieval. Yes, any bookmarking service can do as
much, but integrating your bookmarks with Diigo's advanced capabilities makes
them much more useful to you. Want to keep using
another service? Diigo can simultaneously bookmark to many other popular
sites and your browser's Bookmarks folder.#2: Highlight significant passages on each page to quickly
locate them later. Take notes, right on the page, for later reference or to
share your thoughts with others. Never again print out pages just to take notes,
or shuffle through stacks of paper to find your notes again. Worried about
"overcrowding" on key pages? While you can view all public highlights and
notes, you can also limit your viewing to just your own, or to items left by
members of one or more of your Groups.#3: As you build your lesson plan, tag each resource by unit or
by week, highlight passages you want to draw students' attention to, and add
your own notes to guide them. You can also 'chain' resources by simply adding a
link to the next page at the bottom of each note. Diigo's flexibility gives you
freedom to use just the structure that is right for your needs and the needs of
your classes.#4: Save time while discovering useful new resources. Join
Groups of others interested in the same subjects to exchange ideas and useful
resources. Or, explore what your "interest neighbors" as suggested by Diigo have
saved. Either way, you're sure to find resources you can use, without the
trouble of hunting for them yourself.#5: When you do need to search for a particular item, the Diigo
toolbar simplifies the job. Multiple search engines are organized by category,
and you can add your own search providers and categories, or reorganize existing
ones in whatever way makes the most sense to the way you work. With all the best
search tools right at your fingertips, it's easy to do thorough research.#6: Hate photocopying and assembling bulky, wasteful handouts?
Save time and money. Just tag the pages, including highlights and notes, you
want to include, then quickly Extract all the information under that tag. Give
students CDs containing copies of the HTML file which has links to all the
original pages and includes highlighted passages and your notes, or print
copies as you need them. Watch this demo to see how it's done.#7: Keep up with changes, and always offer your students the
latest, most accurate information. By finding frequently updated academic or
educational sites on the Web, you can provide them with the most current and
relevant material. All you need to do is delete links that have become useless,
add the new ones you want, and when you extract the entire topic everything will
be up to date.#8: Provide feedback to your students in 'invisible ink' so you can avoid stifling their
creativity. You can also create a Group to allow your students to pool resources
and conduct discussions in private. Or, encourage them to interact with other
students around the world. Diigo lets you do whatever's best for your
class.#9: Share anything you find with a colleague, including your
highlights and notes, even if they don't use Diigo. Simply use the
Forward feature, and Diigo will send anyone you choose a link to the original
page along with the text you highlighted, your notes, and any comments you
choose to add. All with no cutting, pasting, or going to another window to
compose an e-mail.#10: Use Diigo to help teach your students the digital literacy they'll need in the future. It
is so well adapted to research, even college professors are recommending it to their students as an essential
tool. And, it's so well designed students actually enjoy working with Diigo.#11: Whether you write a blog for colleagues or to keep your
students infromed, Diigo offers several useful features. You can blog directly
from the Diigo toolbar, with a link to the page you're writing about as well as
your highlights and notes already added to the post. Diigo will also send a
linkroll of resources you've saved directly to your blog with no extra effort on
your part.#12: What if you're talking with a colleague or a student, and
you'd like to share your resources about a particular topic on the spur of the
moment? Just jot down a URL with the pattern www.diigo.com/user/yourusername/topic_tag
and anyone with that link can access whatever you've saved publicly on that
topic. -
