    Another way to collect internet resources, with information about proper citation style

    One of my colleagues at BFS showed me this site, another way of organizing web resources. I like the function that helps kids cite resources correctly!

    Hey Rachel, how do you feel Zotero compares to Noodle Tools? I'd be interested to hear your opinion. Also, I recently discovered another tool in this category (http://www.wizfolio.com/) which looks interesting, but I haven't had a chance to explore it yet.

    I have used this site for several years. It creates an advanced search in Google. You can designate a search for .edu, .gov sites or encyclopedias (good for pre-searching, etc.).

    I am a big fan of the Open Directory and this is a great listing of sites for kids around food production and farming. It may be a great place to get started.
  • Dov Campbell on 19 Jul 10
     
    Hi Steve, I noticed that you tagged this and some other resources "BWGOrganic Search Tools" instead of "BGWOrganicSearch" and/or "BGWSearchTools". 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 either organic foods or general search tools by simply clicking on a common tag for each subject. You can fix the tags by clicking edit for each bookmark. 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.

    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.

    I like that you can refine your search and also that the interface is very similar to Google, so kids will be comfortable with it. You can also limit your search to certain sites such as educational, dictionaries, or government. There is also a pop up word feature to help you take notes as you research.
