teachers with multiple sections and/or preps can easily customize information/ resources/ activities using Diigo's groups, lists, and conversations. This can all even be done at the time that a bookmark is made (I could send the bookmark to my 7th grade math group/ list, my pre-algebra group/ list, but not my 7th grade social studies group)

In the meantime, here are some of the suggestions folks have shared and I note them here to summarize the ideas for myself...I hope the summary is useful to you

Development of common interactive whiteboard format

Currently most content files developed for any one type of interactive whiteboard cannot be opened by the software of others. This means that it is not possible for teachers, the National Whiteboard Network, local authorities, or other content publishers to create content that can be used on the software of more than one type of interactive whiteboard. To tackle this problem Becta has, after completing a tendering process, appointed RM to develop a common industry-wide standard that will bring huge benefits to schools, allowing the exchange of resources within and between schools.

The aim of this development is to provide the industry with an interoperability standard, followed by demonstration of support for the format with the production of an open-source file viewer.
