Diigo Firefox

shared by mrsalbertson on 31 Jul 14 - No Cached
  •  Feature Highlight: Highlights Diigo saves the day with "highlights". Highlights let you select the important snippets on a page and store them in your library with the page's bookmark. Let's try it. Just open a page, maybe one of your old-school bookmarks or one of your new cat bookmarks, and find the information on that page you actually care about. Select that important text. Got it? Okay, now put your hemet on, 'cause this might blow your mind! Click the highlight icon on the Diigo toolbar. It's the one with the "T" on a page with a yellow highlighter. You will notice that the selected text gets a yellow background. This means that the text has been saved in your library, and as long as you have the Diigo add-on the text will be highlighted on the page! How's that for easy?   Now you've highlighted the text. It will appear in your library within the bookmark for the page it is on. Go to your library and you can see how it works. If you're not sure how to get to your library, just click the second icon on the toolbar (Diigo icon to the left of the search bar) and then select "My Library »".
  • Sticky Notes on the Web What? I can put a sticky note on a web page? How? Oh, that's right! Diigo. Just right-click anywhere on the page and choose to "add a floating sticky note". Type up your note and choose "Post", then move the note anywhere on the page. You have to type a note first, before you move it where you want, otherwise there's nothing to move!

  • ''Inclusion'' is the latest in a series of evolving strategies for special-needs education.
  • nstead of merely placing that child in a standard classroom for part or even most of the day and expecting him to keep up (a strategy often known as ''mainstreaming''), inclusion involves rearranging the class -- both the physical space and the curriculum -- to include him.
  • impaired and nonimpaired children can come to see one another as peers.
  • Jen Carroll on 30 Jul 12
     
    This is a great report on inclusion in the classroom. The author spent a year chronicling the daily events and issues surrounding Classroom 506 at the Manhattan School for Children.

    I use this website to print a copy of the Constitution for all of my students at the beginning of the semester.  I also use it for activities related to the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and the Bill of Rights.

    Google Drive is a great way to share information with students. Students can share their papers, while the teacher can edit and make comments for improvements through the Google Docs as well. In addition, the journalism class uses the Drive to store, share and organize images for the yearbook.

    This is a really neat site where students can take a virtual tour of the annex where Anne Frank and her family hid during World War II. They can learn what their daily lives were like as well as read short biographies on all the people who were in hiding in the building and the people who helped them survive while they were there.

      Cutting Arts programs can actually cost schools MORE!
  • While school districts see the answer to their budget crisis as cuts to art programs, they do not foresee the problems that arise when students have no creative outlets in the classroom.
  • Disciplinary staff had to be added to deal with the new problems that had arisen. In most cases, the additional staff cost more than the art programs themselves

    While tutoring math, this site is great to print supplemental worksheets with the corresponding answers. In home-bound circumstances, the answer sheets are a great way to incorporate the parents to check student work.

    Sometimes teaching about certain areas of History can be boring. This site allows students and teachers to dive into the Renaissance and see how life evolved from this time period. This can touch on several different areas of subject matter such as Art and History.
