Diigo
Multi-functional, Social Networking Bookmarking Tool I have registered as a Diigo user and have created my personal Diigo account where I have annotated and bookmarked a plethora of internet resources and Web 2.0 tools that can be utilized within my professional practice. This tool offers the following:
I have also joined the Diigo network group E-Learning for Educators. The networking component of Diigo offers the following:
Purpose: Joining Diigo offered me the opportunity to become familiar with a social networking bookmarking tool. I have learned how to search for web content, annotate my findings either by highlighting or adding commentary, save my resources as well as share them with other group members. By joining the E-Learning for Educators group I was offered an extended opportunity to collaborate (without personal dialogue) with other professionals and learn from their findings and annotations. The tool is both a personal and professional asset. Reflection: Experience with joining Diigo as a private user and a group member has positively impacted both my awareness and my management of online Web 2.0 tools. This is a resource whose existence I was previously unaware of. It offers me an easy way to skim and seek for information I consider relevant. As there are a plethora of Web 2.0 tools available on the internet, having a resource capable of sorting, filtering and annotating information to determine its usefulness allows me to use my time efficiently during the research and retrieval process. I would like to extend the function of this tool for use with fellow professional colleagues and students, using Diigo as a way to share online resources and links that are currently stored on a shared network drive or cloud-based repository. In my opinion, small group members can offer collaboration on a specific concept, whereas large group participants can offer resources within a variety of contexts. |
