Hello everyone,
I've been asked to write a short article about Diigo for possible publication. If you would be willing to help me write it, I would enjoy the experience of collaborating in that way. The topic which prompts this piece is "social scholarship." I made a wiki page on which to write this article. Writing it together would also be a powerful form of social scholarship! The page is at: http://schoolcomputing.wikia.com/wiki/Why_We_Like_Diigo and it needs to be drafted in the next 7 days, so come on over and put a few words in. Please feel free to tweet this out wherever there are other diigo users.
thanks!
Demetri

This "23 Things" site by Shelley Paul was developed to engage Atlanta area educators in exploring web2 tools in a step by step fashion, and is offered for credit.

Interesting idea for introducing educators to web2.0 tools. I'm not sure about disconnecting it from classroom application. It sure makes it easier to do, but I wonder if it might be stickier if it were connected to teaching and learning.

teacher training videos for teachers who want to learn about technology and ICT in education

On this wikispace, a school in Florida is posting P.D. videos for elementary school teachers. (thank kim cofino for tweeting the link)

Excellent PDF manuals for Google Earth, from beginner to advanced.

Interesting example of a high powered multimedia web2 webquest.

Spring 08 article from Independent School magazine does a nice job of getting to the point of progressive education

Nicely done hoax website; good for a unit on info literacy. You can even buy a "Save the tree octopus" t-shirt :)

NYT article questioning the impact of the web on reading.

6mb pdf from partnership for 21st c. skills

Google's first foray into VR. Fly through google earth to a "real" place and then enter a virtual world there.

Interesting commentary on how to make PowerPoint powerful from a math teacher with a projector. Describes how powerful slides and good questioning lessen the distance between "oh, man that's awesome" and "kids, look at this"

interesting use of video interlaced with bad powerpoint slides

Sometimes when I bookmark a site using the diigo button on my browser it doesn't bookmark the site. anyone else have this problem?

my only solution so far is to go to the diigo site and bookmark the site there.

HI Susan,
I'm in IE7. It worked this morning. It's just weird that sometimes it doesn't work. I'm sorry you took your blog post off the ning. I was hoping you'd leave it there, but maybe just remove the link to the file. It's a shame that something like that will no longer be discussed because of the copyright. Makes me more of a believer in the worth of creative commons, but I guess that journal probably paid the author something to write the article, so just giving it away freely might mean it would have never been written. Hmmmm. this sounds like a good topic for a discussion over at the ning :)
all the best,
Demetri

Interesting discussion of the impact of the net on reading.
