  • Once the group is created, you can create student accounts. No email addresses needed. You create the username and password.
  • There are groups for all these where members can share their saves to not only their inventory but to the group as well. Diigo will email you once a week with all the new content. Pretty neat, huh? 
  • There are loads of other features as well, like highlighting on a webpage, adding sticky notes to pages, saving pages to read later without actually adding them to your collection and so much more.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • When you save to Diigo your saves go anywhere because they are saved to the cloud. Sounds mystical doesn't it?

      I am so mad I never used this earlier! It is really fantastic.
  • One of the most powerful features is the tagging. Basically, if I save Google.com and don't tag it, I will have to remember the name of the site or something in the address
  • your saves don't travel with you from computer to computer and device to device.
  • So if students are working on a group project they can share their saves together, automatically. Or as a class, if you are working on something everyone can contribute information they find.

      I love this concept--in level 3 I sometimes have the students do peer-editing of papers or projects, and I think Diigo could pair well with a pre-editing phase where they could collaborate on research as well as composition!

    This seems really useful. I'm excited about Diigo for my own use, hadn't thought about using it with students yet.

    This tool can create and add beautiful videos with photos, text and music for presentational or other communicative activities. The user can begin with a template and ready made images or start from scratch with their own images.

    I tried this tech tool but I couldn't figure out how to make a video that is beyond basic.

    There's a Part 2 that gives further introduction and directions to the tool and its features (see the link attached). Hope it be of help for your further exploration of the tool. https://teachersfirst.com/blog/2020/03/tech-tool-of-the-month-adobe-spark-video-part-2/
