This video is a good one to watch and consider...what if? ...our kids think use project based learning to master concepts instead of just sticking to traditional worksheets and tests. It is definitely food for thought.
Love this! If my students are working on something online, they constantly email links back and forth to themselves. This is such an easy way for students to share links and work together without trying to figure out group emails- it can be a lot for a 10 year old!
Classes could supplement their textbook with information from the web. Diigo could facilitate student discussions about the bookmarks. Annotations could be used to gauge student thinking.
Students can use virtual sticky notes to summarize the important points of information from the website. This activity will mimic the time-tested procedure of using note cards to summarize and organize research projects.
One common problem of student computer use in schools is access to student work from home. Not every school provides a way for students to access their school data. In such cases, if students create bookmarks at school, they will not have access fro
m other computers.
Using Diigo, students can bookmark important websites and access them from school, home, the library or any internet-connected computer. Students will always have access to this data
