  • In the past two+ years, I've read and bookmarked almost 3,500 websites that I wanted to keep. I've also highlighted the interesting passages on them, and written margin-notes about those highlights - all without printing the pages
  • I've also put all 3,500 websites in a file cabinet - without printing them out - that I can access anywhere in the world that has an internet connection.
  • And I've placed each bookmarked site in multiple folders with individual labels, so I can see everything I've saved about, say, NCLB, or Creationism, or the Cold War, or stuff that made me laugh, on one online page.

      This is a nice summation of the capabilities of Diigo!
  • It's made using Screencast-o-matic.com's free online service - which is also valuable for teaching. Think of applications for English Language Learners, special needs students, and visual/aural learners, for example.

      Screencast-o-matic looks to hold great potential for a number of applications in education.
  • The following screencast tutorial should be useful for every reader and thinker who doesn't know about it. Students of all ages, it should rock your world; and teachers, throw a bit of imagination at it and it might transform your practice a bit.

      Diigo has certainly made a difference in the way I handle my bookmarking and researching.
