My list is at: http://www.diigo.com/list/christina4703/experiments

Like most people here, I made a list called "experiments" for the purposes of this assignment. Most of the sites I posted to this list are things use nearly daily and it's good to have one place to go for all of them. However, I don't know how much I'll use this feature in my everyday life since I already have system for organizing and accessing my bookmarks. I follow blogs via Google reader and get email updates from several of the other sites I bookmarked. This does make it much easier to share those bookmarks, though, so I can see the usefulness of bookmarking this way for the sake of sharing in a class or collaborative setting.

Diigo seems like a really cool way to organize and keep track of resources you've used. At first, I thought it was just like Delicious or similar bookmarking websites but Diigo has a lot to offer. In particular, I love the fact that you can highlight and make notes on the screen and then share those notes with other users. This would be a great tool for a teacher who wants to draw students' attention to a particular item on a webpage or in a section of text.

I looked at Sabrina's puppet-making group because I, too, am super stoked for the upcoming Muppet movie. She asked that we find a puppet-making tutorial online and make some note or suggestion on it. With that in mind, I found this site:

The tutorial I found is a how-to video for making marionettes out of dolls. I suggested making this a two-part project by first making your own doll from a simple pattern so that the marionette was entirely hand-made.

To be honest, I didn't have a hard time getting Diigo to work for me but it seems to be optimized for Chrome, which is my preferred browser. When I switched to Safari, I had to adjust a little because some of the features were only available for premium users on Safari. I also have experience on quite a few other bookmarking sites so I was already familiar with the concept here, which I'm sure helped me to navigate the process with less confusion than I would have felt if I were unfamiliar with this type of service.

Hello people,

For my group, I created a cooking class website that can be found here:
http://groups.diigo.com/group/cooking-class

It must be because I've been experimenting more in the kitchen lately so I've got the culinary arts on the brain. In the group, there are two assignments and links to a few of my favorite recipe websites to get students started. Hope you enjoy!

Main page for the Children's and Young Adult Bloggers's Literary Awards

An interactive guide to NPR's recently published list of the Top 100 Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books

A Google powered search engine that searches a specific list of book blogs for reviews of titles

My favorite internet radio. It allows listeners to select stations according to their moods or activities.

I found Morning Song by Sylvia Plath on Poets.org and annotated it here:

I chose this poem because I have always loved Plath. She's a fascinating figure in American literary history and I've tried to read as much of her work as I can. This poem celebrates the birth of a child. It's a perfect example of the vivid imagery and keen analogies Plath used so often.
