Luckily, you can create a template from any existing Google Docs document. Start either by choosing an existing document, spreadsheet, presentation, and form or create a blank one. Then, edit the contents of a document whichever way you see fit.

Classes could use Diigo to review content in a type of fact-checking activity. The internet could be used to research important points of study and see if that information can be confirmed with bookmarks.

Teaching students to research is a common standard across all grade levels, elementary, middle school, high school, and beyond. Diigo excels as a research tool: Students can save relevant websites to lists in their Diigo student accounts. Each saved bookmark captures the URL and a screenshot, and can be searched later. Students can highlight important information right on the website, using Diigo. Later, when students return to the website, they find the reason they saved the bookmark in the first place. 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. Students working on similar topics can create and join groups in order to collaborate. Later, when students need to document their sources, Diigo can be used to recall website URLs for citing sources.

Students will complete a total of 4 slides each focusing on the impact of the climate, plant life, animal life, and problems. Students in the group will each contribute their research to one or more slides.Each slide will have text and a graphic. The presentation will have a theme.

3.  Additional Research - Teams are to become the class experts on their assigned "Hot Spot."  Each team must use at least three credible sources.  If the school subscribes to data bases through the library, students can use those during the research process. Students are to attribute sources using their title, name and credentials.  Students must be able to  show that the information gathered is valid and credible.  Students cite sources using MLA style.
