Courtney Walker's List: Diigo and Online Feedback

  • Introduction to Diigo

    How Diigo fits into the 21st Century educational landscape. Why you want to be a diigoer. How we are currently using it. What you can do with the program.

    Reasons for Diigo- as told by you

  • High School Uses

    At this level students should be able to work through all features of Diigo for class assignments and research. Diigo is a great web 2.0 technology for the SEE project as the student could share his/her annotation online with English teacher, content advisor and librarian. There could be more collaborative work amongst SEE students of similar topics. Diigo is a great way to get multiple perspectives on your content area to supplement textbooks in your classroom. Diigo lists and links can be posted into your Moodle environment.

  • Middle School Uses

    At this level students should have their own accounts. Students should be able to bookmark, highlight, stickynote,and organize list. The social aspect of Diigo is great for this level as peer interaction is important. However, we must teach the distinction between social networks and learning social networks.Finally this program supports the PBL focus in research.

  • Elementary Uses

    For young grades like PK- 2nd- The teacher could use diigo on a smartboard\projected to highlight key ideas. Students would not have their own accounts yet.Primarily, in upper Elementary we have used Diigo to teach learning network and tagging concepts. We have also transferred the highlighting and annotating reading strategies to the online world. We are fostering close, active reading even in front of a computer screen. Since elementary students do not have an email we use the teacher console to generate accounts with more control.The following links are examples and websites geared towards the elementary level

    This is a website 5th graders visited for a biome research project. Look at the kinds of sticky notes they are writing. There are examples of feed back comment within the sticky notes.

    • The  soil can range from sandy and fine   
      -textured to  loose rock fragments,  gravel  or  sand . It has a fairly low salt concentration, compared to deserts which  receive a lot of rain (acquiring higher salt concentrations as a result). In  areas such as mountain slopes, the soil is shallow, rocky or gravely with good  drainage. In the upper bajada (lower slopes) they are coarse-textured, rocky,  well-drained and partly "laid by rock bench." In the lower bajada (bottom land)  the soil is sandy and fine-textured, often with "caliche hardpan." In each case  there is no subsurface water.
    • Deserts cover about one fifth of the Earth's surface

  • Active Reading and Note taking Skills

    Websites that help teach strong note taking skills. These sites would be a great starting place with diigo in the classroom. I would start in the classroom with the old style highlighting and sticky noting a reading passage before moving online with it.

    An essay on why you should mark a book- I offer that we should translate this to why we should mark up a webpage. This could help you teach the note-taking skills
