Edtech Treks: Squeaks, Squeals & Squawks

Friday’s New Tool!

April 4, 2008 · 1 Comment




If it’s Friday it must be time for figuring out how to use a new tool. :)
This Web 2.0 class I’m taking with Jim Walker and Pioneer Valley (MA) colleagues has been a real roller coaster ride of ups and downs. Ups because I’m learning a lot; Downs because I haven’t figured out how to use the new tools as seamlessly as I use my Web 1.0 tools (i.e., grab and go).

So thanks to Jim, I’m now playing with Diigo (http://www.diigo.com/). But because it’s all Geek to me, I’ve headed right to Diigo Help page (http://help.diigo.com/), where I will park myself and read all about how to Bookmark, highlight, and add sticky notes to any web page.” I also intend to learn how to pronounce “Diigo” and why it’s named so strangely.

I’ll keep you all posted.

    I have had Diigo install for a month and have not really used it. I have been reading more about Diigo and, like you started reading the help. I looks like it could be a very useful tool for collaboration and sharing resources. The high lighting and comments along with the social bookmarking make it seem like a turbo charged del.icio.us.
