But I have to tell you that despite all the pain in my neck this has been, I'm LOVING Diigo. We are annotating the blogs as we read them and then dissecting what they mean. Now imagine my little kids (6th graders you know) trying to understand that the geochemistry of this sediment can tell scientist about the cycling of sea levels...and this cycling is important to the coastal cities survival throughout the world. We're just at the most basic places, but they are digging through...asking me questions and pulling out info they think is relevant.
I have them write summaries and email those summaries from Diigo to me each weekend. OK...not all are great. But most of these kids "get it" and are pretty interested in the science being conducted. I think they are also grooving on the conversation we get from highlighting important things from the blogs and then chatting (via the annotation commenting feature) about why it's important and what are the next things we should look for.
