  •  
    Any idea what "folksonomy" is? Where did the term come from? Why would it be important to this group?

    Smart mobs...the power of groups to tag and share information
  •  
    Ah! You've been doing your homework young Jedi! Do we want to apply "some structure" for example ELA8_xxx; use the more popular tags that are recommended when creating a post, or do we let it all evolve?
  •  
    I tend to use the tags that are provided when I tag in Diigo. Is there something I am missing by not evolving our own tags?
  •  
    "I tend to use the tags that are provided when I tag in Diigo. Is there something I am missing by not evolving our own tags?" Oh, no not at all. I was thinking down the road when we get teachers hooked on Diigo. Let's say Teacher A wanted to search through his schools' group for ELA content. If the group added ELA_ or Gr8_ as a prefix that might simplify his search. So, in this scenario the provided tags would serve as a base and the prefixes would allow for faster more refined or focused searches.

Cloud Trip / Cloud Computing / Web Applications - 1 views

  •  
    If you're not up on Cloud Computing, this site provides TONS of information and sites to visit to see the cloud in action. It's one of my absolute favorite sites to see what's on the horizon for cloud computing (no pun intended).

Diigo : The End Of Bookmarks? | Search Engine Journal - 1 views

  • Diigo’s community, in using all the function of Diigo’s innovation and refinements, has the ability to help build relationships based around perhaps our greatest asset – knowledge.
  • Diigo allows users to add, gather or extract from pages of information and then share or work with others to further refine knowledge. Users can define their content on a group, community and ultimatly on a personal level via this even more enhanced UI.
  • The purpose was and is to help people grab relevant content and effectively aggregate, save and/or store this data. Diigo essentially transformed the bookmark into a more usable and effective data collection tool and has also enabled a very unique and positive community aspect with V3. Diigo basically enables people to study and research as one would in a library – by taking pertinent pieces of the knowledge puzzle and putting them where they are accessible, functional and more easily utilized.

  • Users now have the ability to search and select suggested data from other users as well as suggesting relevant knowledge to their friends. Suggestion, when presented by like minded users, can effectively act as a knowledge filter which narrows search to a fine point.
  •  
    An article worth reading. It describes the impact diigo can have in an intelligent and thoughtful manner.

A few ways to motivate teachers to use tech by Larry Ferlazzo - 4 views

  •  
    This article places the emphasis on building relationships with teachers before you try to integrate technology. Common sense, but sometimes overlooked.
  •  
    LOL! I just read that article on his blog earlier today: http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2009/11/09/a-few-simple-ways-to-introduce-reluctant-colleagues-to-technology/ Interesting because they are both dated Nov 9th (today) and we both found them independently. Just shows how fast information gets relayed. Points are interesting, but his poor grammar frustrates me.
  •  
    Great article, there are common sense ideas to share with those reluctant teachers!

Copy / Paste by Peter Pappas: How to Teach Summarizing: A Critical Learning Skill for Students - 4 views

  •  
    Nice artice that brings insight on how to work through levels of cognition for students. So many of them cannot summarize, because, for the most part, teachers may not be using the best techniques to elicit good responses.
  •  
    While it may be true that teachers may not use the best techniques, summarizing is a difficult skill to teach in and of itself.Most students will equate summarizing with " giving a book report" and misconstrue what summarizing truly entails. Having students sift through details and information to arrive at "the important details" is a continuous cognitive process that children reach at different levels at different times in their cognitive development which is one reason why I think this skill is so difficult to teach.
