    Clearly compares the benefits of organic grown foods and the conventionally grown foods. Short and easy to read for kids.

    I like how this website has kid-friendly search engines listed!!

    Hi Heather, great job finding, sharing and commenting on resources on Diigo! I would like to offer a couple of suggestions. You will notice that above that the site that you bookmarked here is www.kidinfo.com. While it's true that this is the main site where you found the article "Organic Foods Are They Safer?, by bookmarking only the front page of the site kidinfo.com instead of the specific page with the article that you want it makes it so that anybody clicking on the link above will still need to navigate the site in order to find this specific article instead of being able to click on the link and going directly to the page. Unfortunately Diigo does not provide a way to edit the address (URL) of sites you have already bookmarked, so if you wanted to make this change you would have to delete the bookmark by clicking on More and then "Delete this Item" above and after you would need to find the article again and re-save it to Diigo. A second suggestion is to add several other tags beyond the required "BGWOrganicSearch" or "BGWSearchTools". For example, the above reference article may discuss specific themes related to organic foods, for example safety or pesticides. By adding the tags "Safety" or "Pesticides" it helps to build a library of tags within Diigo that can be used to quickly differentiate articles based on sub-topics. To add additional tags to bookmarks that are already on Diigo you can click on the More above and then Edit. Again thanks for your great contributions to the course. Please let me know if you have any questions on the suggestions above.

    Hi Kerry, I'm having trouble accessing this link. This can happen when sites are found through deepweb sites such as ProQuest since they are trying to protect their content. When I click on the link I'm asked for a username and password. I am going to contact the Bank Street librarian and see if she has a username and password that we can use to access the site via this method. In the meantime, if you don't mind, could you post how to find this article through ProQuest (perhaps by Document ID) so that others in the class can access the resource. Thanks
  • Dov Campbell on 14 Jul 10
     
    After some further investigation, I found that if I bookmarked a site directly from the Bank Street ProQuest site that there was no problem accessing it through Diigo. A couple questions: are you accessing ProQuest through Bank Street? Are you accessing it from home or on campus?
  • Kerry Roeder on 14 Jul 10
     
    No, I was not accessing it through Bank Street, I was using my school's proquest account.
  • Dov Campbell on 14 Jul 10
     
    If it's possible to find the same article on the BS ProQuest and then post and delete this one, that would be great. Thanks. Dov

  • The difference between "organic" and "natural" foods is that the word "natural" isn't regulated. Manufacturers can call any product "natural," except for meat and poultry. It would be up to the consumer to decide whether to trust the company. Not so with organics.

    Hi Steve, when I try to access this site it asks for a "UserGroup Identification". How did you access this resource?
  • ...4 more comments...
  • Steve Goss on 14 Jul 10
     
    I accessed all of these resources through the Bank Street Library databases. Since I did my work from the school I had direct access. I assume that if you use the Bank Street Library log on information that everyone received, you would be able to access this resource.
  • Dov Campbell on 14 Jul 10
     
    Unfortunately the code that we were given doesn't work on this prompt. I will write to Kristen and see if there's a fix for this.
  • Heather Lorenz on 18 Jul 10
     
    Dov - were you able to get a code to access this doc? I would love to read this as it seems to be relevant to my search! Thanks
  • Dov Campbell on 19 Jul 10
     
    Unfortunately not. Steve, I noticed that this article came from the Albany Times Union. If you don't mind could you try to find the article on their website and post the link in the comments here or as a separate bookmark. Thanks.

    Hi Rachel, we're having some difficult accessing links that were bookmarked from the ProQuest database. I'm contacting Bank Street to see how we can get into the links. In the meantime, if you don't mind. Could you post a comment here with the DocumentID of the article on ProQuest so others can easily find this resource. Thanks.

    I really like the idea of sharing quality resources with others. I can also imagine that viewing not only the discoveries, but the comments and questions of others, will support my students' critical thinking skills.
  • LaVerne White on 06 Jul 10
     
    Yes, I do. I am a novice here. Heretofore I have not gone beyond Google and Wiki.. I look forward to learning from the resources other educations will provide and adding resources from the sources that I have gathered from my research. This will help me and my students. I am ready to work.
  • Steve Goss on 06 Jul 10
     
    I am really intrigued but the annotation and sticky notes features offered by Diigo. The ability Diigo gives the user to not only save and suggest sites, but also add layers of additional information onto those sites seems extremely useful from a professional development angle. The question I have is if I store a site with annotations or stickies, does anyone else who follows my links get to see my added notes? Or is that personal only to my Diigo view?
  • Dov Campbell on 06 Jul 10
     
    Hi Steve, I like this feature too and that's a great question. Basically there are three levels of sharing with sticky notes, PRIVATE (default), PUBLIC, or GROUP. Here is Diigo's explanation: Private sticky notes are viewable by the author and any forwarded recipients. Public sticky notes can be seen on the page by all Diigo members with the Diigo toolbar or Diigolet installed, and its viewing mode set to "All". The highlights associated with public sticky notes also become PUBLIC, i.e., viewable to all Diigo members. Public highlights and sticky notes should be done with care. To minimize graffiti and spam, we have raised the bar for making public highlights and sticky notes. More info here: http://help.diigo.com/how-to-guide/sticky-note To demonstrate this I created a GROUP sticky note on the main Bank Street page...Can you see it?
  • Steve Goss on 06 Jul 10
     
    I could see the note and I added my own comment. I really like the concept of Diigo, so it will be interesting to use it for the assignment. If I had any frustration with Diigo, it's as a MAC user it is not Safari friendly. With that said, it works fine on MAC with Firefox.
  • Kerry Roeder on 08 Jul 10
     
    I really like the idea of being able to highlight and annotate things you find on the web or things you want students to look at. I briefly used delicious in graduate school, but mostly just to bookmark articles I wanted to go back to later. I really like the interactivity of diigo (since I didn't use it that much, I'm not sure how much delicious offers) and think it would definitely be useful in the classroom.
  • Dov Campbell on 08 Jul 10
     
    Kerry, I also used delicious before diigo and I agree that it worked great for bookmarking, but the social aspects were not nearly as developed as diigo. Incidentally, if you or any of the students already have a delicious account it's possible to import your bookmarks into diigo and also to have any new bookmarks you create in diigo also posted to delicious.

    Hi Heather, great job finding, sharing and commenting on resources on Diigo! I would like to make one suggestion. You will notice that the title of this bookmark is "Document View - ProQuest", which is what Diigo automatically puts in as a title when you bookmark the article. Since this is too generic and not very helpful to let other students know what the article is about, it would be useful to edit the title (either at the moment you are bookmarking or after) to include the actual title of the article. Again, thanks for your great contributions to the course.

  • anonymous on 14 Jul 10
     
    Really interesting article, LaVerne. This is the first time I've seen this point about "romanticizing" pre-industrial food practices. It's a complicated issue, but certainly worth wondering about.
