If you have ever used a personal computer at great length, then you surely have experienced either a computer crash, or a mistake which erased all of your work. Digital content websites such as Diigo act as safety nets protecting your work. With Diigo, information can be accessed from any computer anywhere. However, Diigo does not simply protect and carry information. Diigo allows for bookmarking and highlighting of text on the web. This is a great tool for teachers to use in the classroom. In addition to highlighting, teachers can add arrows to web pages directing students' attention anywhere! As a teacher, I will be able to gather articles from the web, highlight the pertinent information, add my own notes, and enable students to interact with the internet. With Diigo, students will benefit by being able to bookmark websites they find interesting or helpful concerning their schoolwork. They may even refer back to those bookmarked pages years later as they continue their education. Diigo is an asset to the classroom!!

I like here how you talked about the long term power of diigo. Always thing about how these things will change teaching and learning in your classroom. Education must change to keep kids engaged and learning. Technology, in the hands of a great professional, can help do that. Think about how you can use these tools to change learning. That is the goal. Leave a Reply. |
