Thing #13 Tagging

I am using this instead of bookmarks now. My bookmarks are a mess and folders just make it more complicated. I spent the last two hours moving my bookmarks into diigo which I thought was the easiest to use. I also really enjoy the highlight and post it notes function. My idea was to use these as a guided reading activity for the students. Have the students read an assignment online but highlight important aspects and post questions using the comments for them to think about certain parts. I also thought that this would make a tremendous review activity. There are so many good animations, videos, tutorials, notes, etc. out there to help our students but they always rely on questionable sources. I thought about giving a traditional review (questions) with keyword tags to students with access to my diigo where they could review tutorials if they didn't get a question right. This way students could focus their study time on what they didn't get right and spend less time on what they have already mastered.
