What Do Students Learn by Using Social Bookmarking Site Diigo? - 1 views

So, what exactly are the advantages of having students use this social bookmarking tool? First, they are in the exploratory phase of their research projects. They’re still trying to figure out what good topics are, so in order to not have them wondering alone in this process, I have them sharing ideas. Diigo allows for students to share bookmarks with each other in a group area. All of the sites saved in the group show up for all to see.

This course of bookmarking allows students easy access to information using any device and by not necessarily bound by school server or other sometimes limiting means of data gathering when traveling abroad and trying to complete work.

This is such a good habit to get into. Students also practice their summarization skills, as they are to write 2-3 sentence summaries for each website they save.

I really like the idea of students using Diigo and their posted resources to guide a discussion group. Similar to what we are doing here, correct? What does it mean in this article when it says that a discussion is not threaded?
