-
You can create student accounts for an entire class with just a few
clicks (and student email addresses are optional for account creation)
Students of the same class are automatically set up as a Diigo group so
they can start using all the benefits that a Diigo group provides, such
as group bookmarks and annotations, and group forums.- Privacy settings of student accounts are pre-set so that only teachers and classmates can communicate with them.
- Ads presented to student account users are limited to education-related sponsors.
Q: What are Diigo Educator Accounts?
These are special premium accounts provided specifically to K-12 & higher-ed educators. Once your Diigo Educator application is approved, your account will be upgraded to have these additional features:
-
- Classmates
in the same class are automatically added as friends with one another
to facilitate communication, but students cannot add anyone else as
friends except through email. - Students can only
communicate with their friends and teachers. No one except their
friends can send message, group invite, or write on their profile wall. - Student profiles will not be indexed for People Search, nor made available to public search engines.
Student accounts have the following special settings to protect the privacy and safety of students.
