It looks like this site has a lot of features similar to Diigo. Do you notice any features that would make you prefer one over the other?
I think it could be used by students and teachers alike. I could especially see it used by students doing research and I like the collaboration/sharing features. I could see myself using it to share informational text to supplement the fiction we are reading in English class. I can highlight the info I want them to pay attention to or read my annotations or put questions in the annotations. I can also see using it to share texts with my staff members.
I really like this website! I use my SmartBoard often in class to highlight text to demonstrate main idea or important details. I would like to see what this looks like for students. It would be a great teaching tool for students to find main idea or practice researching for a paper. It would be very beneficial for teachers to see how students are highlighting main ideas in texts while also taking notes. Have you used this before? And how successful was it for students?
Sarah - I am new to using both Diigo and Scrible, so I did not realize all of the similarities between the two. I really like how you can highlight things with Scrible. Are you able to do the same with Diigo?
Those were some of the same reasons I thought this would be a useful tool as well.
This would be great for formative assessment. You create a wall on which students can post "sticky notes" to add to discussion, answer a question, ask questions, etc.
This seems like a great resource Abby. I've been trying to find Twitter replacements, since our district blocks Twitter and most other social media sites. Do you have experience using this? I'd love to know more.
Holt Interactive has a collection of graphic organizers created for teacher use. There are also teaching notes with lessons and tips on how to use them in the classroom.
Online bulletin board. Post notes, links, images, documents, videos and other resources. Share the link and students or colleagues can post responses or additional resources.
I'm excited to try to incorporate Padlet into my classroom. I think it's a great way to get kids to brainstorm together, or even use as an "exit ticket" for the day. I think both teachers and students can use this as a collaborative tool, to take a survey, to brainstorm, etc. This is a great tool for students and teachers to share ideas with each other. Pinterest would be a similar way for students and teachers to share their ideas with each other, but not exactly the same way. Thanks for sharing, Tamra!
