@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.

Hi,
I 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.

No sweat, Peggy....

I 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

Bill,
Thanks 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.

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.

Diigo is great for social bookmarking and highlighting.

Thank you,
Miguel Guhlin

Hey Karl,

Class 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

Hi Karl,
Your 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. 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.

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