General Teacher Information about Diigo
An overview of the tools I use on Diigo as a research tool. (Note: This Research 2.0 list uses Diigo, but this is not entirely about just Diigo)
The educators group on Diigo has over 1000 members with people sharing bookmarks and links. You can subscribe to the RSS feed for just one link or one part of the rss feed.
There are group tags for educators that we share and can use. It helps keep things consistent.
You can make auto blog posts out of groups.
You can drill down and look at tag communities to find other things that are interesting on your topic.
This is the tag community for education, the neat thing is that you can find related groups, bookmarks and people around a topic. This is very powerful.
The site community for my blog - this shows you how it works.
I really like the site community feature - go in here and type the site communities and you can see what is linking to your site and being bookmarked.
Student Research and Sharing
You can have student research groups in ways that protect student privacy and help you collaborate. If you have students and experts join a group and set up standard tags, you can have everyone use the same tags and "feed" the information to a wiki or blog, or even have it automatically blog post. This is a powerful way to harness the bookmarks of your adults and make sharing research easy.
Here are the procedures for how we use the Diigo group with the flat classroom projects - we've used this with flat classroom and we've used it with the digiteen projects and ad4dcss (advocates for digital citizenship, safety, and success)
Tagging standard for Flat Classroom Project 2010 for our Flat Classroom diigo group.
(optional - ask your teacher) This is the bookmarking group that teachers, researchers, and some classrooms will use to share bookmarks about the flatteners and current news.
You can see if you click on "related information" how everything tagged work flow software now flows to the student's page that they are doing on this topic.
Digiteen Diigo group that we use with our students on the digital citizenship project. The 9 aspects of digital citizenship correspond with the 9 aspects from Mike Ribble and Gerald Bailey's Digital Citizenship in schools.
This page shows that things bookmarked digital_literacy through the group automatically go to the students in the project. The teachers (who all use diigo) just tag throughout the year to have things ready to go into the wiki when it is time for the project.
This is the wiki with the information from our session on Diigo in the Open Source Lab at NECC. It has current information on bookmarking.
Outline and presentations from the Diigo presentation at NECC that we did. This includes the presentations, outline, and backchannel notes.
I love Diigo - including the lists feature. This list is what I'll be using for the session tomorrow.\n\n1) Diigo\n2) Bookmarking - send to blog post - settings\n3) Groups & widgets\n4) Tag dictionaries
Search Engines
Searching in Research. When students start researching, it should more than just search engines.
Google Advanced search now lets you filter by reading level! (Hat tip to Tammy Worchester)
Remember, however, that google searches are becoming personalized which makes it more important than ever to use deep web resources.
Students need to learn to go deeper than just Googling. Here is a short 2 minute video on that topic.
There is more than just Google, students should know how to use deep web resources and more. Here's a nice listing of academic resources to share with your learning community.
This is a very comprehensive list. One area where Wikipedia excels (if academics will continue to contribute) is in comprehensive lists of open education resources. This list includes whether it is subscription or free and what type of database it is.
eBooks and Audiobooks
KNowing how to find and download eBooks and Audiobooks is an important part of research.
