The Diigo User Guide has lots of information to help get started and learn more about what this site has to offer.

Help to get started with learning about the many features of Diigo available in this new version. (have to break it up and learn a few at a time, but can see the potential for it to be really useful.)

This article mentions some of the benefits of using Diigo, and in the comments section, there is some discussion of importing bookmarks, with tags, from Delicious, for those interested in trying that out.

Overview/introduction to Diigo, and some of the features available.

"A Wetpaint website is built on the power of collaborative thinking. Here, you can create websites that mix all the best features of wikis, blogs, forums and social networks into a rich, user-generated community based around the whatever-it-is that rocks your socks. A social website that's so easy to use, anyone can participate."\n About Us. (2009). retrieved February 28, 2009 , from WetPaint Web Site: http://www.wetpaint.com/page/about \n\n Technology has become such a great assessment and device to drive and promote learning in the classroom. I believe that it would behoove teachers to take advantages of these new tools and incorporate them in the classroom. Technology has open so many new ways to allow teachers and students to collaborate while learning, and WetPaint is the way to go. By using WetPaint, Teachers can create blogs for their classrooms; which may include, syllabus, information, assignment, etc. The students of the classroom can join the bog and post new information, ask questions, work on projects, etc. WetPaint can be used in classrooms of different ages. The teacher can disable ads and other information that children may not need to see. Parents can also read the blogs. This allows a chance for parents to know what their children are learning and promote these ideas at home. WetPaint is can become child-directed, if the teacher is will to make it that way. If teachers allow children a chance to learn about and experience this in the classroom, WetPaint can become a very child-directed technology. The possibilities are endless with using WetPaint.

Am looking for examples of tech integration/ implementation videos, such as these. Hope others will add examples to our Diigo group, that they are aware of.

One nice thing I've discovered about Diigo is that you can set it up to automatically save your bookmarks to delicious when you save them to Diigo.

This is a good description of how twitter can be useful in a classroom.

testing, testing... My first diigo bookmark!

What happens when a preschooler goes online? This report attempts to document how young children use the web. It is illustrated by YouTube clips.

I found this website to be very confusing to use. It doesn't seem like it would be very appropriate for young children. There is a chance that a teacher could use it in a early childhood classroom, but overall, most children that young would have a hard time listening to a presentation, even if it was a cool one. Also, Prezi costs money to use so that is definitely a draw back. However, if you were a college professor or even high school teacher, Prezi may be worth the money.

Madelyn, you are right- this is not for use by young children. It is a new type of presentation tool which shifts from the typical slideshow type presentation to one that organizes all of the information components on a single document, and allows the presenter to zoom in on sections of the content, and particulars, to help share ideas. There is a free download version available, which is the one I have started to explore. For example, I have documented the development of our use of Diigo in early childhood settings, and created an image map. That is not visually interesting/accessible when shared as a whole, but might be transferable into a Prezi document which would be. We will see...

Free Website Creation. From what I've explored so far it is really easy to use! Prompt bubbles pop up to help you.
