Social Bookmarking Evolved - Diigo

What are educators saying about Diigo?

Diigo Buzz

"Diigo turns reading and research into a social activity. Conversations emerge right on the page and spill over into the classroom. Students love it. They not only engage with the material, they engage with each other."

Michael Wesch, PhDAssistant Professor of Cultural AnthropologyDigital Ethnography Working GroupKansas State University

"I use Diigo as a tool for student research, note taking, and

commenting. Diigo is like Delicious, however it gives you the

ability to highlight passages in articles and take notes on the

passage or post comments or questions. When they read the

online article, bookmark it, highlight a passage, and add a

comment to it I see what they have done. Diigo is a great tool

to monitor research, ask questions, or evaluate comments of

students.”

Dave Ehrhart

AP US history teacher, Keystone Technology Integrator

Sign into Diigo

Visit the Diigo Education Page

http://www.diigo.com/education

Complete the Application Form

receive an e-mail once your Diigo account has been

upgraded to Educator Status

What Does Education Status Mean?

You can create student accounts for an entire class with just a few clicks (and student email addresses are optional for account creation)

Students of the same class are automatically set up as a Diigo group so they can start using all the benefits that a Diigo group provides, such as group bookmarks and annotations, and group forums.

Privacy settings of student accounts are pre-set so that only teachers and classmates can communicate with them.

Ads presented to student account users are limited to education-related sponsors.
