I think the tag cloud is interesting. I prefer the delicious cloud where there is a size visual, however, this one is nicely organized. Several of the tags were brought in by delicious, which may have skewed the results. I wish there was a way to select tags in a hierarchical fashion. E.g. select chemistry, then select visual aides and end up with all the pages tagged with chemistry that also tagged visual aides. A bit of Boolean logic is always a plus. It is nice to be able to see any annotations listed, however, some of them are inappropriate. It is nice to be able to limit viewed annotations to friends and myself.

I have made 5 lists for Diigo use: Notes (which contain practice worksheets, online quizzes, etc.), Tutorials (videos, animations, webquests, guided sites), Reference, Study/organizational strategies, virtual (classes, labs, or demonstrations). I originally created a list based on my content topic, but I don't think that would be as efficient. I would rather say: "I need a visual for atomic theory" and look up tutorials, then atomic theory.

Here is a blog set up to allow students in my Regent's Chemistry classes to communicate with each other, discuss projects, concepts, problems, etc... Students can reference both links to needed materials and the knowledge of the class.

This webquest would be for my Science 9 class. I like it because it provides students with a specific task, procedure, references, and evaluation.

I find that even if you do not purchase the book, publisher's websites contain loads of useful and relevant information. There are many items I would reference on this site. One idea I got using the side link "Building a Science Vocabulary." I plan on
