    A TED Talk by WIll Richardson. I realize that both Kevin and I have quoted Will Richardson in this class, and thought I'd share something by him. Since people tend to like the short and sweet TED talks, this seemed like a fair place to start.

Blogging About The Web 2.0 Connected Classroom: Why Diigo Rocks! - 1 views

  • One of the most powerful features is the tagging. Basically, if I save Google.com and don't tag it, I will have to remember the name of the site or something in the address. That can be tough when you start to get 1000-2000 saves like I do. Trying to remember exactly the name of a site I want to share just isn't going to happen. Instead I use tags. With tags I can categorize my saves.

  • teachers who have more than one section of a class can initiate collaboration among all their sections. Students can use Diigo to create annotations on useful websites, and save the websites to groups or lists. Other students, even in other sections, can see the annotations made by other students. Students can even comment and respond to others. Here, Diigo creates a communication channel between sections that would otherwise not be easy to create.

    It is good to hear what students garner from using social media for educational projects and learning purposes. The Diigo comment was very interesting as I was not aware of the ease of the highlighting feature mentioned. In addition, it is great to hear that more students are using Twitter as an online information tool for learning and not just for entertainment purposes. I think this exercise would be very valuable as a reflective tool for students and teachers at the end of a unit or semester.

    I was at a conference on 1:1 computing last year (Innovate 2013), and one of the presenters, Will Richardson, said that EVERY teacher should spend at least 5-10 minutes a day on Twitter. I thought that was interesting. I'm not sure I'd go to that extreme, but it was making the extreme statement that made his point. He recommended it for the constant professional development it offers. If you use it to sign up for twitter feeds on professional topics, the best articles, links, etc. will come your way in a steady stream.

      Really? Never thought of that before! 
  • simpler and more basic also more academic.

    Interesting to have in mind the students`perspective... Not sooo related to the topic, but good food for thought about how students feel about using a certain social network.

    Not mention Pinterest is really cumbersome to use with students unless you share an account. its really great for teachers to share ideas though!

    I think that Diigo is more academic. Pinterest is nice when we want ideas for an activity, but not for discussions or serious texts.

    It's interesting that AASL (The American Association of School Librarians) chose Pinterest for one of their "best Websites for teaching and learning" but not Diigo. Sometimes I think their choices are more about flashiness than about content, although I do love some of their choices.
