    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

  • Dov Campbell on 19 Jul 10
     
    Hi Leelah, nice job finding and posting resources on Diigo! One issue that I noticed is that you tagged this and some other resources "BWG organic search" instead of "BGWOrganicSearch" (Notice there are no spaces). While this may seem like a minor distinction, the purpose of asking students to use these specific tags is so that anybody in the course can easily find all the resources related to organic foods by simply clicking on a common tag. You can fix the tags by clicking edit for each bookmark. Also, I noticed that you bookmarked several articles about organic food, but I don't see that you bookmarked any general search engines for kids as requested in Assignment 7 - Part 2. Thanks
  • Dov Campbell on 19 Jul 10
     
    Another thing I noticed is that because you are using spaces in your tags some of the phrases that you want to tag, for example "pros and cons of organic" are getting split up into several smaller tags. The issue with this is that it creates tags that don't have much meaning, for example "of" or "and". The best way to group a phrase as a single tag is to put quotes around the entire tag, like "pros and cons of organic". Other ways are to put underscores between words, like pros_and_cons_or_organic. And a final way is to not use spaces and to vary the capitalization, like example ProsAndConsOfOrganic.

    I'm having trouble accessing this site too. How did you access this site?
  • Kerry Roeder on 14 Jul 10
     
    Again, I got to this through my school, but I thought sirs was part of proquest and should be available to see.

    It seems that ProQuest has a variety of different products so Bank Street may have the main ProQuest database, but not SIRS. I'll ask the librarian.

    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.
