I asked a couple of weeks ago about Google Forms and the response was so great, I figured why not ask about Diigo?
Do you use Diigo instructionally? If so, I'd appreciate you sharing that information via this Google Form, it will only take a couple of minutes at most. Feel free to share a description of how you're using it, including any links to blog posts, wikis, etc. that demonstrate how you're using it. You can also optionally include your name and email address if you don't mind being contacted by folks having additional questions (I will be sharing the results on the web, so please keep that in mind before clicking submit).
You can, of course, also leave information in the comments to this post so that everyone can see it immediately as well (although it would be great if you would also add them to the Google Form so I have them in one place). Thanks in advance for anything you're willing to share.
Update from the comments: We are doing a show this Saturday on Classroom 2.0 LIVE about the new features on Diigo v. 4 with Maggie Tsai, Miguel Guhlin and Russ Goerend. The focus will be on using Diigo instructionally and I'm sure there will be lots of sharing in the chat room and via the mic in the Elluminate session. We will announce your survey during the session and invite people to contribute to it. We'd love to have you and your readers join us to participate in the conversation/presentation. Saturday, October 31, 9:00am PDT, http://live.classroom20.com for additional information and login link.
Hi Karl,
ReplyDeleteYour timing on creating this survey is perfect! We are doing a show this Saturday on Classroom 2.0 LIVE about the new features on Diigo v. 4 with Maggie Tsai, Miguel Guhlin and Russ Goerend.

Your survey is going to provide some really valuable ideas for teachers! Thanks a lot!

Hey Karl,
ReplyDeleteClass is just starting, so I don't have long to talk---but I wanted to share my Diigo in the classroom resources with you:
http://digitallyspeaking.pbworks.com/Social-Bookmarking-and-Annotating
There's a ton of how-to handouts there. Probably the most valuable materials on the entire page. I've got some tip sheets and tricks, and also some directions for using Diigo (in it's current form).
Now, PBworks hasn't been working this morning----ironic----so you may not be able to load the page yet. If the problem continues, I'd be glad to send you PDFs of everything.
Hope this helps....and I'll be back to the Google Form once the day ends.
Rock on,
Bill
Please be aware that "Miguel Guhlin" won't be participating in the Saturday session. I am looking forward to listening to the recorded audio since new version of the Diigo toolbar will be released prior or near to Saturday.
ReplyDeleteDiigo is great for social bookmarking and highlighting.
Thank you,
Miguel Guhlin
Bill,
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for sharing the link to your wiki here in your comment! It is an incredible resource for teachers wanting to learn more about how Diigo can help them in their classrooms! I have added the link to the follow-up resources for our Classroom 2.0 LIVE show and you can access them here on gl.am. We will share the gl.am resources during the show and post them with the archived recording.

No sweat, Peggy....
ReplyDeleteI wish I could join the Elluminate session tomorrow, but I'll be busy! I work too many part time jobs, that's for sure.
Diigo is one of those tools that are perfect for classrooms, though, because it allows teachers to expand on the kinds of traditional instructional practices that make a difference....Annotating and group conversations around ideas aren't new. Diigo just makes them easy.
Rock on,
Bill
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI just came across this at the classroom 2.0 session and wanted to share my thoughts on it.
I have just started using Diigo with my 8th grade class and will soon be using it with 7th and 10th too.
I created a group in Diigo for each class, based on a research topic. The students had 2 lessons to search out as much important information they could, highlight, sticky note and comment on the pages. They then had some time to comment back and answer questions, or elaborate on the annotations of others. This work was then used for the next lesson in which they needed to find "nuggets" of information in the bookmarked, annotated pages of their group and post these to Twitter in 140 words of less, synthesizing their information and understanding. We created a hashtag for them to use in tweeting and can now access the info when doing their note cards and citations in Noodlbib. I also backed the twitter work up just in case in a Google doc.
I love what Diigo can do and the kids seem to appreciate this method of note taking too.
@Bill and @mrsjgarcia - thanks so much for sharing. I'm going to add what you wrote to the google form (if you haven't already) if that's okay with you.
ReplyDeleteKarl, I've referred to your survey here:

Did I miss it or is the completed spreadsheet not available so that I can see what others are doing with diigo? Let me know. I use Forms almost every week at school in university lit and comp classes as well as diigo adn zotero.
ReplyDelete@Tellio - it was linked from a subsequent post. You can find it here.
