Diigo is a social bookmarking website. “Diigo” is an acronym for Digest of Internet Information, Groups and Other Stuff. Diigo allows users to bookmark and tag entire web pages, or even specific paragraphs. The Diigo homepage is a play on cloud based organisation, or the more traditional mind maps. As you can see, Diigo saves and organised files using thematic categorizations.

Students might use Diigo accounts for a specific project, or a teacher could create a Diigo account to provide specific material or websites to an entire classroom.
-
Diigo can be used on a variety of desktop browsers, iPhones, Androids and iPads.

Shelly Wright shares her views on using Diigo and similar tools to support student and teacher learning and collaboration. I found this approach interesting as she has determined that students can take advantages of searching for information and learning directly from professionals in more meaningful practical ways in comparison to reading a text and reciting information with less affect.
