I just finished a research unit with 400 8th graders using diigo. My team of teachers loved the site as a way to share resources, we had several kids use the note taking and highlighting functions as a replacement for the more traditional note cards. This was a great way to "hook" those kids who love tech, but may be reluctant readers/writers. We write a p[persuasive research paper so lots of our kids set up lists according to their topics. It was pretty powerful. Our concern was one already voiced, even though we had a education account it still seemed pretty easy to wander out into the great wide open. Personal philosophy is we need to teach kids how to handle web 2.0 and all its interactivity (good and bad) but it might also be nice if diigo could just close some of the social networking abilities to education accounts.
