If you liked his TED talk, you may enjoy his discussion of READING in the world of Kindle Fire and other tablets. I wrote a long (18 page) research paper for UNO about e-readers, so this article speaks to me. :-) Shirky explores SOCIAL READING and discusses its merits (or lack thereof).

If you are enjoying Diigo as an educator, imagine the possibilities for your classroom. You could establish a group and mark all the links you wish them to visit, direct them to certain sites for research, OR have them contribute to a community list like our CSM group. Check out this article for the "how-to's" and benefits.

This article addresses five myths about using technology in education.  The report was released at the 2010 ISTE conference.  It is a long article but you can always just read the five myths as a summary if you do not want to read the full report.  It has great links on the resource page at the end of the article (p32).  

This article is a great source for finding "virtual tutoring programs" to help students with their homework. I think it would be great for a teacher to check out all of these apps to evalutate which might be best to recommend to students.

Great article. I just added it to my personal Diigo account for my own children to check out!
