OPLS blog » Diigo - Delicious killer? - 0 views

  • Although it pains me to say it, I think there is something better than Delicious out there. I first came across Diigo in the summer and have been playing with it on and off ever since.  Social bookmarking has been an absolute godsend to education and Delicious was at the forefront of that - but, in my view, it’s been surpassed. I had high hopes of the latest version when it was released at the end of July, but, to be honest, they just focused on the instructional design and look-and-feel rather than functionality.  You still can’t create groups or lists, or send messages to the people in your network, and you can’t annotate either.  All of which can be accomplished in Diigo and more
  • Diigo groups are ideal for team research If you have any need for team-based research, Diigo groups are ideal for you. A Diigo group can be public, private or semi-private. Pool and organize resources using group bookmarks When a member of a Diigo group comes across a web page, he can highlight, tag, and share it to the group. In this way, group bookmarks become a repository of collective research. Group members can also vote up bookmarks so important information stays on the top. Group sticky notes are great for discussion When adding sticky notes, you can make them private, public, or viewable only by members of a certain group. With group sticky notes, group members can interact and discuss important points right on the web page, preserving the original context. Group tag dictionary to enforce tagging consistency The group administrator can define a set of recommended tags for the group to help enforce tagging consistency. Diigo has recently launched an education version, where you can create class accounts and add privacy settings, so I recommend you have a look at this. Oh, and for those of you who can’t quite leave Delicious behind just yet, you can synch the two so that whatever you save in Diigo gets automatically put into your Delicious account as well.
  • a lot of thought into the design to make it easy for beginner users to get started while satisfying power users’ needs
    • Graham Perrin
       
      I'll echo Maggie's observation: the people to whom I show Diigo _do_ find it easy - and useful.

How to add group-shared highlights to a page that is already shared with the group? | Diigo - 0 views

  • Please check it.
    • Graham Perrin
       
      This sticky note added using Firefox 3.0.4 on Mac OS X, and shared with the Diigo Community group.
  • 1. add highlights to a page (not a home page) 2. share the page, and annotations, with a group 3. add some more highlights — for the benefit of the group. How do I achieve step 3?

New highlight colors | Diigo - 0 views

  • Pink highlight * pink signifies that the highlight is visible to a group
    • Graham Perrin
       
      In this example, a simple highlight is copied to a group — and changes from yellow to pink — when I stick this note and address it to a group.
  • you can not mix private and public notes on a single highlight
    • Graham Perrin
       
      Blue versus pink? Pink wins!

  • ...45 more annotations...
  • Diigo – its effect on me
  • many fantastic links from the diigo in education group
  • reccomend all teachers with an interest in using web2.0 in their teaching to join this group
  • Tips/Tricks/Pitfalls
  • My students were A-Level
  • reasonably mature (16/17)
  • I was on hand to support in a very intensive way
  • the group was small (about 9)
  • things that you should absolutely do to make sure students use diigo properly
  • select the drop down menu
  • as soon as they start writing a note
  • decide if the content they are writing is to be shared
  • find the group you have assigned them to belong to and select that.
  • Highlighting is fiddly
    • Graham Perrin
       
      I find that highlighting with Diigolet (with Safari in Mac OS X) feels better than with installed versions of Diigo.
  • Keep the diigo homepage open
  • open a seperate browser or tab
  • Making use of your group’
  • favourite
  • review the annotations we’ve all made
  • a good plenary
  • or start to the next lesson
  • challenging those sticky note annotations also increases their value
  • Moderating those pesky post-it notes
  • Where next for diigo?
  • I was new to the whole social bookmarking thing
  • more potential for taking the links found further
  • more usability in the forum
  • plus the ability to easily add in some tricksy multimedia
  • a stranded approach to posts
  • confusing
  • use diigo in interesting ways
  • deeper learning
  • Final thoughts
  • use it with much younger students
  • easily create accounts for students
  • don’t need a long list of their email addresses
  • most impressed by how much diigo enabled students to vocalise their thoughts
  • security and space
  • without feeling pressured
  • others (particularly in different subjects), might discover interesting and different ways of using it
  • This in turn will lead to more ideas for everyone involved.
  • Conceptually diigo addresses some big problems
  • put simply it enskills them to use the internet in an open way
  • debates
  • things randing from validity of information to building collective knowledge as a group

Cache | Diigo - 0 views

  • Safari production does include highlights and annotations
  • Should Diigo cumulatively cache the content, and relate it to an annotation, _each_ time an annotation is made?
    • Graham Perrin
       
      I think not.
  • Diigo 3 Beta offers, I believe, a reasonable, well-considered balance: * one cached copy of the content of a URL * extraction of annotations for that URL.
