Barbara Lindsey (lindseybp)'s Public Profile in the Diigo Community

I direct the Multimedia Language Center at the University of Connecticut.

I am interested in blended learning,constructivism,student empowerment,language learning,intercultural competencies.

I use Diigo because I can easily collect, organize, and share web-based resources with anyone, from anywhere at any time on any internet-enabled platform. I especially value the ability to annotate resources and to make those annotations private, public or viewable only to select groups and/or friends.
