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.

      Students here can share resources with notes on how it relates to topic being studied. This is very practical for online research with large classes as it will eventually cut down search time dramatically as resources are shared.
  •  
    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?

    Free teacher accounts allow teachers to create student accounts with minimal student information. In addition, this brilliant resource allows students to track their research from year to year without the need of carting books from home to school.

    This is a blog I have referenced before for math resources, but now I can see clearly how this math teacher uses Diigo. Diigo is such a focused way to search for content!
  •  
    A cool example of using Diigo RSS feeds embedded in a website to maintain a running list of ideas. I hadn't seen this before.
  •  
    Soooooo many great links! I think I could use some of these for younger grades too! Thanks, Lexi!!

    Jenn! Great find! I love the chart of Bloom's mixed with Social Bookmarking. I am really starting to see how this tool can be used in the classroom.
  •  
    I really appreciate the chart as well. Thank you for sharing this useful link!
  •  
    I love the Bloom's chart as well, and this is a great resource for the classroom. I can easily see that I am in the Applying phase of the learning process at this point!

    I've read this article before. I think Diigo helps students to learn how to research and find reliable sources. Everybody that uses Diigo will use the tools provided by it and realize that they are useful. Students will work collaboratively.

Best Websites for Teaching & Learning 2013 | American Association of School Librarians ... - 1 views

  • Create connections, encourage collaboration, ignite discussions, or simply share mutual interests through Pinterest. Uploaded or “pin” images and videos from websites, blogs, or your own computer, smartphone, or tablet to create boards. These boards can be private or public, and others can be invited to pin on any of your boards. Any “pin” can be "repinned", and all pins will link back to their source. Grades 6-12. Tip: Have students work in groups to create research projects and share their sources visually.

    A list of top learning tools (you can navigate to past years as well). Note Diigo isn't on it, and I didn't see it in past years. But Pinterest is there.
