Common Core is a step in that direction, and in many ways it is a necessary condition for any number of education reforms. Don't fall for cheap conspiracies. It's a major step forward.

the first great thing about Diigo is that your bookmarks follow you wherever you go. When you bookmark a site using your Diigo account, you can have access to it at work, home, the computer lab or library. The other great thing is that once you bookmark it, you can share your book mark links with students and colleagues and they can all have access to your sites.

The next big plus to Diigo is that you get to “tag” the sites you want to bookmark. A tag is the classification system you determine so you can organize your bookmarks and find the link the next time you need it; this is known as a folksonomy.

On the sticky note the teacher could ask questions and Diigo allows people to comment and reply to the questions on the sticky note. Students could also add sticky notes for other students to comment on as well. Another way to use the highlighting tool is that students could go through an article and highlight all of the vocabulary that they didn’t know and learn what it means prior to reading the article. Or students could put sticky notes about questions they have when reading the text.

a very popular web-based game design environment. Global Kids http://olpglobalkids.org/ is using it to run social benefits game design contests and badging programs. They are getting 100+ new game design entries per week. From the parents' guide: Gamestar Mechanic is currently supported by a partnership between the Institute of Play and E-Line Media. The game was originally developed by Gamelab in partnership with the Institute of Play and the Academic Advanced Distributed Learning Co-Lab (AADLC) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Initial funding for the game and companion learning guides came from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The design of the game is based on research by some of the leading academics in the field including Katie Salen (Executive Director of the Institute of Play and curriculum author for the New York City Public School Quest To Learn) and James Paul Gee (author of What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy).

This site has students creating games from scratch and putting them out into the world for feedback within the Gamestar Mechanic community. Students use math, problem solving, writing skills and more to make their games interesting. I think this could be used in the classroom as a theme-based project or just to get students interested in coding.
