    The St. Kates Instructional Media group was created to share information about digital tools, resources, or general tips that can enhance learning at St. Kates. This page provides directions for getting best use of this group. To view the group, go to: http://groups.diigo.com/group/ins-media

    Advantages of Diigo:
    * Quickly save & share bookmarks
    * Tag & annotate entries
    * Automatic email updates
    * Group members can evaluate entries by pressing a 'Like' button or attaching comments
    * Ability to highlight and add sticky notes to webpages themselves

    To get posting privileges if you do not have them, email: daamdur@stkate.edu to be added to the group.

    Using Diigo
    When viewing Bookmarks: If you find a bookmark valuable, please press 'Like' so others will recognize its value. You can also add comments to the bookmark entry.
    Tip: When looking for items of interest, you can narrow the list by selecting a Tag from the list in the right-hand column (you may have to scroll down to see it).

    When adding Bookmarks, please Tag them with the name of the CMS, and annotate them with short descriptions of content. Tip: Anything that is highlighted on a webpage when you make a bookmark will automatically show up in the Description field, and can be edited.

    Important enhancement: Diigolet is a browser add-on that is strongly recommended to make posting and highlighting much faster. It only takes moments to install.
    * At the top of the page, click Tools.
    * On the new page, go to the left-hand sidebar and click on Diigolet.
    * A page with simple directions for adding Diigolet to your active browser will appear.

    To set Alerts: It is handy to receive email notification of new postings to the group, but annoying when they come too often. To set your Alert Preferences:
    * Go to the St. Kates Instructional Media Group Bookmarks page: http://groups.diigo.com/group/ins-media
    * In the right-hand sidebar, click on Alert settings
    * You will be able to choose how often you wish to receive Alerts
