Highlight
Highlighting lets you denote important information on a
page, just like highlighting in a book, but with Diigo, the highlighted text
will be conveniently saved to your library as well.
There are some important things for me to denote on my
recipe. My wife doesn’t like pineapple, my grandfather can’t have eggs or
chocolate, and I don’t like coconut very much, so I highlight those items on
the recipe to let me know I need to deal with them.
Highlight by clicking “Highlight” on the Diigolet. Then
select the text you want to highlight. The text will be visually highlighted
and the text is now stored in your library. It’s that easy. Click the button again to exit highlighter mode.
You can also change the color of a highlight by clicking the
downward-pointing arrow next to “Highlight” and choosing a color. Colors are
useful for differentiating different types of highlights. I will use a
different color for each of the different people I need to consider.
"The education futurists see the development of Web 2.0 as the final death knell of the 20th century learning model. The proliferation of open source learning tools, social media technology, mobile learning tools, and the ability of educators to cheaply and effectively construct rich, complex, individualized learning experiences for students is bound to revolutionize education."
