It’s take me until the last day of the teaching year but I finally live up to my promise to put up a link to the Diigo list I used in preparing for my Ripple presentation earlier this year.
I thought Diigo was a great research tool, and with its annotations feature I could simply give all the conference participants a link to the list so they could explore it themselves. I’ll definitely be using it with students at some stage next year.

Reading some of the blog posts coming out of the recent ISTE Conference this week, I was reminded again of the bookmarking and research tool, Diigo, which allows you to highlight, annotate and share bookmarks with ease.
In the past I’ve often argued that Delicious is a great bookmark-sharing tool and I’ve used it myself for years, for my personal bookmarks (I don’t save them on the computer so I can access them on any computer anywhere) and for sharing links for special audiences, the readers of The EnglishBook, for example. A bunch of links for them is HERE
But Diigo takes that idea up an extra notch. I’ve used Zotero in the past, and I loved it, but it’s only available with Firefox and I’ve given up Firefox for Chrome and Safari. So, as I prepare for a conference presentation later next term, I’ve begun using Diigo again to gather those ideas and make notes about them. I’ve also been using Google Wave to have a conversation about the conference. But that’s another story!
There are other tools like this too, and a good list of them HERE
Meanwhile, here’s an introduction to Diigo from their web site.
