Hello Michèle,

I note that the link you provided leads to a French cover page. The English cover page is here:

Cheers, Paul

PS: There's something funky with the Diigo link encoder. Although both link displays appear the same, the underlying links differ.

On first glance, it seems like WebSlide shows would be ideal for introducing cohorts of students new to blogging for educational purposes to the works of their near peers and recent predecessors.

For professional development purposes, hmm..., profiting from use of WebSlides requires deeper reflection than a late afternoon chocolate fix and fiddle driven Celtic rock songs in French blaring from the computer speakers seem to facilitate.

There are already too many browser tabs left open waiting for another new list to show up in Diigo to feel certain that I'll get through bookmarking them before quitting time half an hour ago.

It looks like rain, and I don't want to stretch this screenburn- and keyboarding session to the point that i miss the sole bus headed my way home this evening.

Me, three! Better slower than never, eh, Dennis and Joao? I think I whizzed by earlier, too, perhaps in a mad dash to close windows/tabs opened hours earlier, and never found again till way past quitting time. I certainly failed to activate email notification from this forum last week.

Anyway, as a round-about answer to Carla's third call for suggestions of online bookmarking practices (message 1), I'd just like to add a note following up on a hint Carla dropped in message 14 regarding good things to come, where she says: "... [T]here's a way to import all your bookmarks to Diigo, and then [to] keep... replicating the new ones to de.licious. Neat, isn't it? We'll talk about this feature later on" (message 14).

I'd tried the import to Diigo function right after signing up, quite likely capturing far to broad a swath of bookmarks for our common (LwC) good, but was concerned about isolating future Diigo bookmarks from previous collections in both de.licio.us and ma.gnolia. Lo and behold, after reading this discussion today, I found Diigo Toolbar: Save Elsewhere (since no graphic or links seem possible here, the URL must suffice: http://www.diigo.com/tools), and promptly interleaved Diigo bookmarks with both other sets. Wow! I'm so happy I can hardly wait to go and teach!

Hi jenizma,

I'm guessing that you have been tagging resources for staff development in Delicious (or elsewhere), since you are "new to Diigo," and mention occasionally reviewing and merging tags to make them easier to use. I'm curious about the rationale for one of your tagging practices that runs contrary to mine.

You wrote: "I make sure I don't use plurals in my tags so for example I don't save some in a 'video' tag and some in a 'videos' tag" (message 39, 2009.03.14):

http://groups.diigo.com/learningwithcomputers/forum/topic/week-1-any-questions-or-comments-about-social-bookmarking-4356#39

When I've got something I'm tagging with a countable noun, I usually go out of my way to use the plural form, especially if it doesn't alter the spelling of the root. I figured that longer forms would show up in searches for either singular or plural forms.

Would you care to elaborate regarding why you opt for singular forms?

Cheers, Paul

Thanks, jenizma.

I guess we're all doing what works for us in bookmarking what we need or want to find easily again. Then the social bookmarking services do what they do to support us in making what we want to share with others (general users or more narrowly defined groups) as easy as possible for them to find, and select from, in an ocean of scintillating possibilities.

Cheers, Paul

If I don't have a plan for myself, I have a more difficult time finding what I'm looking for. Since I try to use only singular tags, I don't have to look in 2 places for a specific site. It might not be the best way of work, but it works for me :) Also, If I remember the tags I need to share with a colleague or for a training, I can share a single URL (for example: http://www.delicious.com/jenizma/tradingcard )
