"Q: Diigo in Education?

The 21st century calls for knowledge workers who can effectively utilize the vast array of information that resides on the internet and who are capable of processing the information collaboratively with others. Bob Wolf, of The Boston Consulting Group, and a researcher on the use of internet in public education recently commented: "We believe that Web2.0 technologies will define and be defined by the skill requirements of the 21st century workforce. It is time to understand whether models have emerged for using these tools that are superior to traditional classroom teaching alone and what are the best approaches for the practitioner to implement them."

In the education setting, we all know that project-based learning is an effective way to teach students and cultivate their skills of finding, organizing, synthesizing, and presenting information, as well as the social skills of working in groups, all of which are necessary in the knowledge-based economy. Among the web 2.0 technologies, Diigo is a great tool for this kind of exploratory and collaborative learning.

"Cool It! Countdown to Copenhagen



As the days tick by, the world's climate nears a critical turning point. This December in Copenhagen, Denmark officials from almost 200 countries will attend the UN Climate Change Conference to negotiate an international treaty to replace the expiring Kyoto Protocol in 2012.



This conference has the potential to set global emission standards, provide adaptation funding to developing countries, and support green technologies - but only if global leaders take responsibility for their country's contributions to climate change.



We know climate change is happening, but why is it important? Link TV's new series Climate Change Hits Home brings the issue to the kitchen table, showing with weekly stories that the impact of climate change is not a foreign subject. Browse these pages for facts, videos, and action ideas --and understand why the world is watching the Countdown to Copenhagen."

"WeAreTeachers, the knowledge marketplace, is founded on a simple, but powerful belief:

Teachers are uniquely important today, and historically, as keepers of the culture. Whether they teach mathematics, science, literature, art, dance, fitness, or health, teachers are responsible for advancing and transferring the culture of society from one generation to the next.

WeAreTeachers founders have a long history of working in and around teaching, training, and learning in general. We all agree that teachers, whether they teach third-grade reading, high-school math, yoga, or piano lessons, are essential to our culture and our world. But our society fails to reward them fairly and fully recognize their contributions."

In this epaper, we describe a structured approach
to inquiry-based learning that uses the World Wide Web as a primary information
resource. Specifically, we address an intuitive 8-step process that begins with
an essential question and ends with a knowledge product produced by students,
typically completed in a cooperative setting. We also discuss the skills
required by both student and teacher to make inquiry-based learning and the
Internet a successful endeavor. Finally, we discuss the components of a
Project Page, an online document that facilitates the learning process and
support the reader with Web links relating to inquiry-based learning.
