Last week at Ulearn, a teacher I met in one of the workshops recommended Diigo which offers Social Bookmarking as well as additional features through a toolbar installation such as highlighting, annotating and archiving.
Jose Picardo blogged about utilizing the annotation feature late in 2009 for asking students to comment on Web content set for homework.
A Guide to Annotating using Diigo from José Picardo on Vimeo.
Other applications across the cluster could be for HUB groups, Networks, sharing resources or ideas, discussing professional readings with colleagues or identifying key parts of information.
The Toolbar is not available on Safari (an alternative is available), but works with Firefox and Internet Explorer as well as on iPads and iPhones.
Another alternative is Evernote which is also cross platform.
Are there others that you are using?
Are you utilizing tools like these in interesting ways? We would love to hear from you!
Until Next time

Hi Karla
ReplyDeleteAllanah King (Link learning Cluster)was most concerned when she heard that she might lose her extensive set of "delicious" book marks. While dreading that possibility, she now uses "Diigo" but has this set to automatically populate her delicious account too. Smart thinking and the best of both.
Cheers

i also was a bit worried about my bookmarks, though I know I wouldn't have as many as Allanah... so have started using diigo... really like the idea of sticky notes and highlights both for myself to remember what I want to go back to and for others to share and colloborate. Now I just have to encourage more people to join. :)
