Here is an example of embedding diigo links (by tag!) into a website using the tool "link rolls." By the way, this is the ning website I created for our French teachers group (a professional Community!) - if you teach French, please join the site!
Wonderful resource - especially for proper nouns, borrow words, etc. For example, I looked up how to pronounce the name of the author Marie NDiaye who won France's prestigious book award, Le Prix Goncourt, in 2009.
Easy to use - students can create beautiful, illustrated books (view them for free online or purchase a print version). There are also books you can personalize - including translating them into your target language!
