  • Diigo: a match made in SHEEN Sharing heaven? « SHEEN Sharing

    • Diigo is like a next generation Delicious: it’s social bookmarking with the ability to also append comments and discussions on resources to the resources links, and to highlight and comment on sections of resources you’ve linked to.  Being a Web2.0 tool, you can then expose these resources, comments, discussions and highlights to other applications using feeds and widgets.  This means that the ECN can use Diigo to share resources and their experiences with them in one common place, but the results of this can be picked up and exposed in any site or repository.
    • instead of saving your favourites or bookmarks in your browser, you save them to your account on the website; this way, it doesn’t matter what computer you are on, you can always access them.  You can import your browser bookmarks

      • In my experience, what makes diigo better?



        1. it saves the content of the page you bookmark, not only the link. Magnolia used to do that before they lost all their user’s data :)
        2. You can highlight! Important, as sometimes you don’t remember what was interesting in a page
        3. Posts are Private by default
        4. There’s a bunch of community features behind it. Example: pop psych
        5. you can post to other sites, including delicious (they are an example of openness)
    • On top of all this, there’s another feature that may well become revolutionary: adding sticky notes to pages, in a way that other people can see it. When using the Diigo toolbar, you can see what other people have highlighted, and also comments (sticky notes) they added. That means that you are no longer limited to leaving comments on blogs, you can do so in any type of page (even static pages). Diigo enables you to drop your comment exactly where it is relevant, not at the end of a long list.

  • Kinda Learning Stuff: Delicious vs. diigo

    • It does the things you didn't realise you wanted Delicious to do, but now you've got a taste for those features, you don't really want to go back...
    • Diigo... me like! Have a look... see if you find Delicious slightly less delicious after using Diigo for a couple of weeks!

  • Highly recommend Diigo Educator Account - Classroom 2.0

    • I tried out Diigo educator and was REALLY impressed. This let me very quickly (and with no email addresses needed) set up accounts for 30 students. I then created a group for all 3 classes to use and added all the students to the group. In this case, since I only have one more day with the kids and am not sure if they'll be using Diigo after this, I just used the 30 accounts for multiple classes, but if this were for my actual students, I would have created an account for each student. Anyway, once all the students were added to the group, I just instructed them to make sure to share every bookmark for this project with the group. All of the students will then be able to view all of the bookmarks. Again, we couldn't install even the diigolet, but saving right from Diigo worked fine for our purposes. They used the same technique of tagging with last name, class hour, and other appropriate tags.



      I taught both of these methods in a 45 minute class period and the actual explanation of the bookmarking technique took only 7-10 min. of each class period. The kids (7th graders) picked up on it EXTREMELY fast.
    • for long term use and for individual projects I strongly recommend using Diigo educator, especially since I use Diigo so heavily in my personal and professional web research.

  • Diigo: Why I use it. « Rhondda’s Reflections - wandering around the Web

      • So why do I use Diigo?  


        • I like its ability to enhance my bookmarking with highlights and sticky notes, that are retained with the page when I go back to it.
        • I like that you can highlight and publish easily from Diigo to you blog or an email, and a reference appears automatically along with the posting.
        • I like the ability to create lists on specific topics that can be shared.
        • I like the ability to create groups to pool resources for specific subjects. I recently joined a few Diigo groups and have had some very useful sites brought to my attention.
        • I like that you can access and search the bookmarks anywhere by full-text and tags.
        • I like to search for the most popular bookmarks on a particular subject.
        • I like the different ways to share and aggregate information that  Diigo offers. I have set it up so that a list of my new bookmarks appears on this blog on a weekly basis but this is just one option. You can now choose to automatically
        • The tool bar is easy to download and makes it easy to use and aspect of Diigo whenever you are on line.

    • Of course you can keep things private if you choose to but that is really defeating the purpose of Diigo in the first place.


      Diigo also began offering, on Sept 19th, a Diigo Education Account Facility. I haven’t investigated this yet but a post about it was put onto the SLAV Bright Ideas blog. It is worth looking at. From Diigo


      ‘The Diigo Educator Accounts offer a suite of features that makes it incredibly easy for teachers to get their entire class of students or their peers started on collaborative research using Diigo’s powerful web annotation and social bookmarking technology.’


      For an educator account, you do have to apply and fill out how/why you want to use Diigo in your school.

  • OPLS blog » Diigo - Delicious killer?

    • Although it pains me to say it, I think there is something better than Delicious out there. I first came across Diigo in the summer and have been playing with it on and off ever since.  Social bookmarking has been an absolute godsend to education and Delicious was at the forefront of that - but, in my view, it’s been surpassed.


      I had high hopes of the latest version when it was released at the end of July, but, to be honest, they just focused on the instructional design and look-and-feel rather than functionality.  You still can’t create groups or lists, or send messages to the people in your network, and you can’t annotate either.  All of which can be accomplished in Diigo and more

    • Diigo groups are ideal for team research

      If you have any need for team-based research, Diigo groups are ideal for you. A Diigo group can be public, private or semi-private.


      Pool and organize resources using group bookmarks

      When a member of a Diigo group comes across a web page, he can highlight, tag, and share it to the group. In this way, group bookmarks become a repository of collective research. Group members can also vote up bookmarks so important information stays on the top.


      Group sticky notes are great for discussion

      When adding sticky notes, you can make them private, public, or viewable only by members of a certain group. With group sticky notes, group members can interact and discuss important points right on the web page, preserving the original context.


      Group tag dictionary to enforce tagging consistency

      The group administrator can define a set of recommended tags for the group to help enforce tagging consistency.


      Diigo has recently launched an education version, where you can create class accounts and add privacy settings, so I recommend you have a look at this.


      Oh, and for those of you who can’t quite leave Delicious behind just yet, you can synch the two so that whatever you save in Diigo gets automatically put into your Delicious account as well.

  • iLearn Technology » Education Diigo

    • What it is:  Education Diigo offers k-12 and higher ed educators premium Diigo accounts!  The premium accounts provide the ability to create student accounts for whole classes, students of the same class are automatically set up as a Diigo group so they can easily share bookmarks, annotations, and group forums, privacy settings so that only classmates and teachers can communicate with students, and any advertisments on Education Diigo are education related.  If you aren’t familiar with Diigo, it is a social bookmarking website where students can collaborate on the web.  Diigo works in to a project based learning environment nicely and allows for exploratory learning and collaboration.  
    • Education Diigo is an outstanding place for students to solve problems together.  Provide students with a problem and send them on a web scavenger hunt to find the answer, students can post their findings and notes about their findings on Diigo.  Students can collaborate online to solve the problem.  Education Diigo is also a great place for “teachers to highlight critical information within text and images and write comments directly on the web pages, to collect and organize series of web pages and web sites into coherent and thematic sets, and to facilitate online conversations within the context of the materials themselves.”  This feature makes Education Diigo a great place to create webquest type lessons and virtual field trips around the web.    Diigo also allows teachers to collaborate and share resources among themselve. Education Diigo is a must for students who are learning to complete web-based research!

    • Members of an online community gain social capital by making thoughtful or helpful contributions.

    • the first great thing about Diigo is
      that your bookmarks follow you wherever you go.  When you
      bookmark a site using your Diigo account, you can have access to
      it at work, home, the computer lab or library.  The other great
      thing is that once you bookmark it, you can share your book mark
      links with students and colleagues and they can all have access
      to your sites.   
    • The next big plus to Diigo is that you get
      to “tag” the sites you want to bookmark.  A tag is the
      classification system you determine so you can organize your
      bookmarks and find the link the next time you need it; this is
      known as a folksonomy.
