Highlight
Highlighting lets you denote important information on a
page, just like highlighting in a book, but with Diigo, the highlighted text
will be conveniently saved to your library as well.
There are some important things for me to denote on my
recipe. My wife doesn’t like pineapple, my grandfather can’t have eggs or
chocolate, and I don’t like coconut very much, so I highlight those items on
the recipe to let me know I need to deal with them.
Highlight by clicking “Highlight” on the Diigolet. Then
select the text you want to highlight. The text will be visually highlighted
and the text is now stored in your library. It’s that easy. Click the button again to exit highlighter mode.
You can also change the color of a highlight by clicking the
downward-pointing arrow next to “Highlight” and choosing a color. Colors are
useful for differentiating different types of highlights. I will use a
different color for each of the different people I need to consider.
Nigel Coutts on 07 Oct 18There is a great deal that I like about this description of humanity at its best from Ryan & Deci. It is both a goal to be achieved and an indicator of conditions which are required for us to fulfil our potential. While the focus of this statement is on the actions of the individual we can see how society might act to deny individuals the opportunities to lead such an inspired and agentic life. I like to imagine what a school might be like if every individual who plays a part in its functioning strove to extend themselves, master new skills and apply their talents responsibly. Maybe schools would be like the 'learning organisations' described by Peter Senge.
