My most recent post about how I had my students use Diigo to assess thinking and learning in their blog writing.

Fine work Steve. I'll use this with my online class: teaching and assessing writing with the six traits. I'm planning to introduce Diigo to writing teachers this summer. I'll be sharing your blog with my students as well. Keep up the great work! ~ Dennis

A great progression through the various web 2 tools. However, I couldn't access any of the videos - a message appeared saying they were unavailable.

"LectureTools is a student response system that also allows students to take notes linked with the slides and videos presented in class, answer instructor generated questions and pose questions to the instructor.

'As the web becomes more and more inundated with blogs, videos, tweets, status updates, news, articles, and countless other forms of content, "information overload" is something we all seem to suffer. It is becoming more difficult to weed through all the "stuff" out there and pluck out the best, most share-worthy tidbits of information, especially if your topic is niche. Let's face it, Google definitely has its shortcomings when it comes to content curation and the more it tries to cater to all audiences, the less useful it becomes.'

Great STEAM materials.  Powerful source for any flipped math or science curriculum.  Interactive document format is very promising.
