Top 10 Signs That Your Teacher Is A Geek

I follow @AuntyTech (Donna Baumbach) on Twitter. This morning she posted this: Top 10 Signs That Your Teacher Is A Geek from Fractus Learning

I must admit I was interested in seeing if my recent explorations of Web 2.0 had changed my "status".

Nothing really surprised me.

I recognized most of the tools but still have a way to go...Quora? Foursquare? Gingerbread? Honeycomb? Ice Cream Sandwich?

I liked the top ten tool used in the post but partial geekiness doesn't get me any answers about what tool it is or where to find it.
I now follow @FractusLearning on Twitter and Google Reader.

Diigo Pros and Cons

Pros:

• free online access anywhere
• simple toolbar download
• bookmark, highlight, capture, annotate
• share by email, Twitter or add to a group
• immediate, daily or weekly feed of group bookmarks (my favourite feature)
• send annotations to a blog
• tagging
• bookmarks can be sorted by recent and popular and filtered by topic, bookmark or captured images

 

• collaborative collecting of internet information
• crowd sourced
• public or private 
• create a profile to encourage collaboration 
• groups may require you to request membership 
• notes can be added to shared pages
• tools include linkroll, RSS feed, embedded widget for blogs
• easy to use for student research 

I agree with @AuntyTech and the 50+ who completed the tool survey, Diigo is my top tool..

 
Cons:

• school board computer image "deep freeze" requires downloading of Diigo toolbar after every login
