Thing 13

Where did you create your account - Diigo or Delicious? Why? Reflect on how you think social bookmarking can be used in your teaching.

I ended up using Diigo. Our department had a professional development session earlier in the year which had introduced me to Diigo. I was intrigued by its potential and had already created an account, but had not used it much after that. This course provided me with the motivation to go back to that account and explore it in greater detail. It seems to me that Diigo does everything that Delicious does and more, so I guess I'll be sticking with Diigo. As far as how this could be used in teaching is concerned, I think you covered a lot of the possibilities in your Curriculum Connections section. My first thought was to use Diigo when writing curriculum with other people since it would allow access by everyone and the ability to leave notes, highlight, edit, and add additional text. I also see the potential in using Diigo on student assignments. My plan is to put my whole favorites list from school and from home on Diigo this summer so that I can better organize these sites and access them.
