In Curriculum 21 (Jacobs, 2010), Jacobs discusses the need for multiple associations by professionals in education within a school (p.71) and Wilmarth contributes that "Digital social networks may be the biggest game changer in learning and what it means to be educated."(p.85) Learning by both students and teachers will change extensively. Social bookmarking encourages multiple global associations and keeps us connected. Diigo is a digital social network where learning occurs as "connections are being made within the tagging community membership."(Berger, p.45)
Reviewing Diigo tutorials online gave me some insight into Diigo tools I had not investigated.
- follow other Diigo users
- add options to my Diigo toolbar
- follow more education, library and technology groups
- edit my profile -add a photo, my blog link, about me, why I use Diigo
- consciously tag each item
- highlight and capture as well as bookmark pages of interest
- bookmark, tag and share with my groups
- add the RSS feed for a group to my Google Reader
- add a Diigo widget to my blog
