Diigo

Filed Under (Assignment, Web 2.0) by wclmiller on 12-01-2009



I have been using Delicious (lmiller2) for about 2 years and have loved being able to access my favorite sites (both professional and personal) from any computer.  I decided to check out Diigo and just setup an account (lmiller2).  Currently, I have only bookmarked a few sites – I would like this to be a bit more organized than my delicious account.  I am in the process of thinking how I would best like to tag things – especially sites to be used to enhance math instruction for my 3rd – 5th graders (grade level or by topic).

Diigo appears to have some of the characteristics of social networking – not sure I have time to comment on another site. (Currently have a Facebook account and am plurking.) Two features that I think I will find useful are the ability to highlight and to post notes about the article for future reference.  I’ve decided to use Diigo for the next couple of weeks and then decide which I prefer and best meets my needs. Regardless of which I choose, I will definitely continue to be a social bookmarker!

    Couldn’t you use both kinds of tags. I find that I use the same sites for multiple grade levels. I use multiple tags that I’ll tag something by subject or by math5, math6, etc. Then I can search both ways. I also decided to add ranges to my subject tags. I might tag the same site algebra and algebra6-8. It took me a while to buy in, but I do love delicious. I forgot to try diego. I have to look at that.
