I Dig (not Digg) Diigo (not Digg-o) ~ Finally found the Web 2.0 social tool I love

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 20:42:36 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

I Dig (not Digg) Diigo (not Digg-o)

I think I finally found the Web 2.0 social tool I love. It has captured my heart. It's put a spring in my cerebral step. Its made my life easier because it is sooooo easy to use and so many people who I've invited to this particular dance have come. This is a dance that has a bit of hip hop, a little paso doble, a bit of the ballroom and some jazz. This is easily the best social bookmarking and research tool that I've run across on the web and given that I'm in a geeked out frenzy most of the time trying out zillions of tools that's saying something big time. Most of them are tried, not bought if they cost, and discarded within about 2 days which is my ADD-tested and approved patience limit.

That would be Diigo. Spelling D-i-i-g-o. Two eyes? Two 'i's"? Whatever. Spell it right and then go get it.

Diigo is one of the few Web 2.0 tools that I find both useful and utterly cool. It actually has value and purpose, because it best represents social bookmarking - which has value and purpose. Lots of it to someone who lives on research -feasts on knowledge and spits out judgments which may be questionable at times (many times) but at least are raising information-soaked questions, not judgments devoid of content.

Emerging Technologies for Educators: Diigo - Social Bookmarking Tool

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:12:35 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Diigo - a social bookmarking tool. Use it for Commenting, annotating, highlighting online sources. It allows the user to make and keep highlighted bookmarks on resources on the Internet. Learners can highlight what they have read - leave remarks - interact with fellow Learners. It is possible to setup a class room connection to online resources - leave comments both private and public.

I highly recommend you give this one a try.

BYOL Diigo Session | BlogWalker

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 14:19:24 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Diigo = critical literacy tool. Use for reflective writing. When searching a topic, use Diigo instead of Google to provide students with previewed, reviewed sites.

Classroom idea: set up a “tag” dictionary - it’s one of the options available when you create Diigo groups. Makes for easy evaluation: search a tag and then you’ll see which students have annotated the site.

Concept of tagging vs. concept of list - You can switch list into slideshow presentation of the websites you have chosen from Diigo. The pages are “live,” not just images.

Alice Mercer and Jennifer Dorman are leading this hands-on Diigo session.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Diigo is better than all the others. I dont know how to explain it, but it just does more. You can highlight, comment, share, twitter, etc. It has a great tool bar, too. Mostly, I hate add on tool bars, but this one is actually easy to use.

Family Matters » » Diigo Tip: Meeting Like Minds

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 13:14:24 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

If you want to find others researching the same people, places, things that you are, Diigo can help you make connections. Using the Search People feature, you can find people researching the same sites and topics you are.

Use the By Tags search option to find users who are adding specific tags to their bookmarks - like Huguenot or Bavaria or Civil War. Search People gives you many ways to find like minds who may be able to help your research efforts.

Networking. Without visiting a gas station. Life is good.

For each of those users, I receive a display similar to mine shown here with the addition of a Common Tags category showing tags I have in common with them. Each user’s display includes a Common Stuff link which will display the friends, groups, tags and bookmarks we have in common. If any user appears to be interested in the same areas I’m researching, I can use Diigo to send them a message and/or a friend request. That could kick off a conversation allowing us to explore what else we have in common and perhaps even share our research efforts.

Diigo - This cool tool has transformed my bookmarking, blogging, sharing, and twittering. Install it, set it up to send to your delicious account. Join the educators group (getting close to 400 members) and ad4dcss groups — when you send things to the group, make sure you select at least one of the tags that “pops up” (these are from our tag dictionary.) Also, go to tools and set up a nice little daily autoblog based upon a tag you specify. (Some just put the tag “blog” for everything they want to go to their blog that day!)

To get the most out of it, you definitely should use firefox and install the cute little bookmarklets. This is a definite tool for those writing papers!

Diigo « BCPS E-Learning: Web 2.0 Tools

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:49:40 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

How can you use it effectively in instruction?

As my intermediate students complete the research project we assign, this will be a terrific way for them to match note-taking skills with technology skills. However, it will be vital that we first discuss “copying” versus “note-taking” so that they don’t learn to rely on highlighting as their primary method of taking notes for their paper.

What are other education applications for this tool?

We complete a research report with note-taking project in class so that students are prepared for the research report required in their STEM (Science) Fair project. Every one of our students has to complete this assignment, so they will be able to apply the on-line note-taking skills at home.

Diigo…possible use in the classroom « Technology Thoughts for Teachers

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:47:12 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

How cool would it be in a one-to-one situation, that instead of a teacher putting notes up on a screen for students to copy or where the teacher is lecturing and students notetake, that the teacher puts his/her notes in a blog format. The students would then go to the blog… highlight the important material and make personal notes about the information from the teachers presentation (click thumbnail above to see example). I realize that taking notes isn’t the high level of critical thinking that we hope to attain, but by presenting the material in this way, no time is wasted. In fact, it is then the teacher can take it to the next level and use it as a Learning-Focused ”ticket out the door” . Each student could then comment on the lesson that day and/or possibly address open-ended questions that the teacher has pre-made in her blog. This is just one idea as to how one can use Diigo in the classroom.

Recruiting and Sourcing Secrets: TOP 10 WAYS TO SOURCING / RECRUITING - FREELY

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 21:28:46 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

TOP TEN WAYS TO SOURCING / RECRUITING - FREELY

1) Diigo

Stop adding your favorite links to your browsers.. thats soooo archaic.
From the words of my friend Michael Marlatt " With the massive amount of information available or for surfing the web, sourcing for resumes or conducting competitive intelligence, the question is: How do you capture all this wonderful data, create online sticky-notes (reminders), keep it all organized, easily retrievable, simultaneously share (real-time) content with peers or an entire community, and oh by the way do this without your personal computer from anywhere in the world? One answer: Diigo.

By accessing ANY available computer, Diigo can offer its users all this functionality and much more. Yeah, I suppose someone out there could quickly argue that there are easily hundreds of other book-marking sites, online clipping services, etc. that offer similar functionality-right? That’s true to some extent; however, you will not find one that currently offers the full suite of solutions and rich functionality that Diigo offers and is still (free). Or, you might say, there's always book-marking favorites in your browser (old-school) and creating "bookmarklets" so why use Diigo? Hey, let’s be honest, setting up bookmarklets are helpful but the on-going filing and maintenance can be exhaustive especially if you have 100's (if not 1000's) of favorite sites stored in your browser.
Diigo will simply your web surfing, data collection, content management, and group-collaboration experience in a way that no other social bookmarking application can right now. " I need not say anymore.

about effectiveness of linkedin as a recruiting tool especially after using Linkedin recruiter but its still a great tool for networking, branding (your self /your co)
One of the foremost thing you could do would be to get
-)Get connected to super connectors
MyLink500.com and TopLinked.com have names & links t

The Thin Line » Blog Archive » I’m a Diigo convert

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 16:46:05 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Today I discovered Diigo. Diigo is a bookmarking tool like del.icio.us, only, in my opinion it is vastly superior. Instead of just bookmarking, you can select a chunk of text in the page, and attach a sticky note to it. When you return to that page later on, there’s your sticky note waiting for you. Hugely useful for doing research. Yes they’re in direct competition with del.icio.us, but they’re also smart enough not to make you completely ditch del.icio.us: you can easily set up your Diigo account so that any bookmark you save to Diigo will be cross-posted to your del.icio.us account.

Check out my Diigo profile if you’re interested.

Oh, and this blog entry was written from within Diigo.

C&I 401 - Week 2: Delicious & Diigo « Cycling Through Ed Tech

Fri, 30 May 2008 21:13:44 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

I’m going to introduce Delicious and Diigo - they are now best friends and quite closely linked.

Another tool to help save websites is Diigo. What I like about Diigo is all the functions it offers. For instance, if I see a site I’d like to send to you I can highlight portions and even add a note (like a Post-it), then I can email it to you. Very cool. I also like the social networking tools - you can create groups and then leave messages for one another. It’s much like Facebook or MySpace interactivity. By the way, if you have a Delicious account, then you can set Diigo up to send all your newly saved sites to Delicious - they work well together.
