How-to video: Diigo -- the social bookmarking Web 2.0 application Brief synopsis: Diigo is a social bookmarking Web 2.0 application. Like other social bookmarking sites, Diigo allows teachers and students to save web sites and to create web-based categories, or tags, making web sites easy to find from any place that has Internet access. Diigo makes research easy for students and teachers at any grade level. Students may be working from home and locate a web site they want to use later in school during research work or project preparation. The students can then go to their Diigo accounts and search for the tags, where their web sites are saved, easily finding them for use away from home.

Like the social bookmarking Web 2.0 application, Delicious, Diigo allows students and teachers to bookmark web sites and categorize them with tags for future use. An Internet-based Web 2.0 application, Diigo can be accessed from any place, making it easy for students to find their saved web sites. Diigo has downloadable applilcations for smart phones, so web sites found on cell phones can be bookmarked. Diigo has a downloadable add-on that allows users to highlight, underline and annotate text on any bookmarked page. In true Web 2.0 application fashion, Diigo allows users to create networks, and Diigo groups, so sharing bookmarks and annotations is easy. This is especially nice for students working together on class projects.

New technologies are also causing an increase in incidents of censorship. The history of communications technologies, from the written word to modern electronic media, has been written with fear as critics contemplate the most dire consequences of each move that takes us farther from the personal one-on-one interaction with another human being in real time and space.

The internet and the world wide web are especially problematic. In the virtual world of these media, there is a potential for a kind of anonymous intimacy that can be very seductive in our often fragmented, disconnected lives. Young people, often very comfortable with and eager to explore these new media at the same time they are coping with the myriad problems of coming-of-age in our society, may be especially susceptible to such seduction. Like most things, this can be either good or bad.

In fact, RIF’s passion for literacy creates a unique method of distribution: Dozens of books are displayed, allowing children to explore their interests and make their own choices. The books are free but the moments are priceless, as excited readers show off their selections, pose for pictures, and ask in wide-eyed amazement: “I really don’t have to bring this book back to the library?”
