    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?
  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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

    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.

    After viewing the MonkeySee video, one thing that stood out to me was that organic foods with multiple ingredients may contain less than 100% organic food ingredients, with the remaining 5% approved non-organic ingredients. I was curious as to what that list was and this article does a nice job of explaining.

    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

    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
