The main advantage using online bookmarking rather browser bookmarks is the fact that you can visit your favorite sites and retrieve useful information anytime you want from any avaliable pc. I had tried Diigo before but I didn't really explored the possibilities that has to offer and I couldn't see how I could use it to classroom. After reading the suggested article and saw the lesson plans a million ideas came up. Ofcourse from ideas to actual implementation there is a long way. But I can see how different classes of the same grade can interact with each other and share information. As for the social aspect of the tool I have to admit that I am a bit sceptical, afraid that maybe I will put my students into danger. I realize the need to be up to date and implement lets say "new" technologies into classroom but I cannot stop feeling nervous about it. Maybe after completing the Social Media unit I will feel more confident about it.:-)
If you are nervous about the social aspect of Diigo, set up a classroom account. This will restrict access to your students' activities, making it so that only you and their classmates can see their "public" posts. Private posts will only be visible to themselves.
