iTeachU - Content Curation Tools - 2 views

  •  
    As instructors, we are all information curators. How do you collect and share currently relevant content with your students? How do your students research and share information that they find with the rest of class? What tools do you use to manage or facilitate presentation of resources? Is it public?

Getting Started with Firefox extension - Diigo help - 0 views

  •  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!

    Although this wasn't in the textbook, I believe this test is a good way to evaluate websites. The acronym is very easy for students to remember (CRAP), but still remains informative on the evaluation process.

Resources:Documents - Research in the Digital Age - 0 views

  •  
    This is a fairly simpler resource for evaluating information you uncover. The following is an example of this: the website includes the "5 W's" one should consider when validating a resource. These W's are who? What? When? Where? and why? Since this approach to questioning a source is obviously easier to understand and explain, it could be used for lower level classes to educate the kids on what to do BEFORE they use information or a source.
