Diigo is totally new website to me. This web highlighting site allows users to create a ‘favorite’ button accessible between computers. While I am extremely new to this type of technology, I am beginning to see the benefit of having every resource in a running list online. I often will become excited about a website I can use in the classroom, but if I am not using the site on a regular basis I sometimes forget about the site altogether!

After doing a little research about this website, it appears that I can create groups where I can share posts and websites with other uses. Especially as a graduate student, there are always articles that I want to read but don’t necessarily have the time at the moment. Using Diigo, I can save these articles or blogs to read at a later time. Interestingly, there are alternatives to Diigo listed that would be interesting to explore as well. For example, Zoo Tool also allows you to organize images. But at this point, I still don’t know enough about Diigo to even know if Diigo allows photo storage!
Anne Marie,
ReplyDeleteI started using Diigo recently too and it really is great! I am also guilty of forgetting about a website completely if I do not use it to its full potential. However, I have always been the type of person to bookmark everything and anything that seemed relevant to me and that was super necessary. I would bookmark certain websites where I found a quote or an interesting fact and then later on when I wanted to go back to see what was so important on that website, I couldn't navigate my way back to that quote or interesting fact.
Now that there's Diigo, I can highlight those interesting facts or quotes on that same page with the Diigloet tool and in addition to that, bookmark that page. When I go back to my Diigo account, I will be sent straight to that page with my highlighting. That feature helps me out a lot since I tend to forget why I bookmarked certain websites or what I was really looking for.
I created categories too so that I could stay organized..even online!
I'm going to check out Zoo Tool! It sounds interesting!!
