  • But I recently read something, somewhere that diigo had a new improved tool bar and started to read up on the other Diigo features including the ablility for messaging, creating lists of bookmarks, the ability to turn bookmarks into slideshows, tagrolls and linkrolls, a Firefox sidebar, a Facebook application, blog integration

      I liked the blog - just unlearning del.icio.us to learn Diigo - http://www.edtechcrew.net
  • I have presented del.icio.us at LEAST a dozen times to large audiences.

      Today, for the first time, I'm going to present Diigo instead of Delicious. It's time to build a community of users that I work with.

  • Diigo is not just a bookmarking tool, it is a bookmarking, sharing, discussing, and learning tool LParisi : posted on twitter..My quick take on Diigo..while I have not spent much time creating links, tags, etc, I see it as much more powerful a network than delicious. and I couldn't agree more..
  •  
    This blog post from The Connected Classroom by Kristin Hokanson is a detailed "how-to" guide for getting started with Diigo.

Education Week: Smart Thinking About Educational Technology - 0 views

shared by Anna Adam on 08 Apr 08 - Cached
  • Too many advocates rely on weak arguments, such as “students are digital natives, so we should use more technology,” as if schools should have used radio and TV more often when earlier generations grew up with those media.
    • Anna Adam
       
      I have a problem with the analogy that schools in the past should have used more radio and TV comparing to now with technology. That's apples and oranges. Or at least tangarines and oranges. The majority of jobs today require the use of technology. Even cashiers at Walmart! Not so for radios and TV in the past. We're not using technology because our kids are growing up with that media. We're using technology because our kids are growing up REQUIRING that media.

    The NECC fringe festival is going to be fun! This is an example of collaborative meet ups and the new sort of "unconference" that is popping up around many of the innovative conferences.

    This is a place we should plan to join in with NECC.
  •  
    Let's all remember to tag everything (bookmarks, posts, photos, videos, etc.) with "necc2008".

diigo? | Alex's reflecting pool - 0 views

  • I believe there is something very powerful  in this tool. I am in the process evaluating it for instructional and professional development purposes. So far these are my thoughts: I think I can easily mark up online student work with this tool. I think online students can mark up each other’s online work with this tool. and discuss. One of the course activities is to use a rubric to evaluate an online course that the students will each be building as the main project for the course. The course review, I think, can be done using diigo. I think… not sure yet. Online students can easily create annotated bibliographies of web resource in directed learning activities AND share and discuss them with others in the class. This resource can grow and be available for the online course from term to term. In addition, for webenhanced courses, this is an awesome, easy, slick, cool way to incorporate some very cool online enhancements to a f2f course that completely bypasses all the extra unnecessary flotsam you get with a full on CMS/LMS. you get a lot of functional features bang for the “buck” in this tool. It is a slick tool with a lot of functionality to suport interaction/collaboration, etc. When i have my university administrator’s hat on i also see great potential as a tool to facilitate and enhance community and for professional development. I have an extended staff of 50-100 online instructional designers that i could use this tool with to aggregate links and info and resources and networking. We have over 3,000 online faculty that we could use this with to support them with info and resources and networking - differenciating between the needs of new online faculty and experienced online faculty… there is potential for discipline specific resources and info for online faculty… and it goes on.

    The report concludes that effective uses of technology to enhance student achievement are based on four building blocks which are alignment, assessment, accountability, and access and analysis. Its definition of student achievement includes 21st Century skills. The report describes 21st Century skills as "a new set of skills necessary to prepare students for life and work in the digital age. These skills include digital literacy, inventive thinking, effective communication and high productivity abilities" (p. 32).
