"Thing 15"

Using Diigo for this weeks activity is a pretty cool new thing I've been introduced to. First, I learned that Diigo is an online tool that keeps websites of choice in the "cloud", also known as the social bookmarking site. Diigo provides many advantages for anyone who wish' to take their online note taking to the next level. Using Diigo, I found that the feature of building your own library makes it easy to have an organized "folder". I also like the fact that when you highlight or attach a sticky note to a paragraph or a sentence, when you leave the site and come back (even on a different device) the notes remain and you can present your findings with whom you choose to share it with. Also, when you loose your page you can search it up using "tags", which are used when users initially bookmark their sites.
Another bookmarking website, Delicious, operates the same way Diigo does, however, I would include Delicious in it's benefit where it gives users the ability to share their favorite bookmarks with colleagues and/or staff. I would share more academic related topics than I would on my Diigo account.

Include any ideas you have for using delicious in your professional practice (for yourself, with colleagues, and/or with students).

  1. Hello Jacqueline,
    In your blog you said that number three sticks out to you most which is agreeable but I feel like keeping a positive outlook is where it begins! If you calm your mind and think positively some of that stress can be reduced but also making a list and go hand in hand while making that list having a positive outlook! This list is something I will be refering back to
    Thanks for sharing Banita Birdi
