Diigo: No Not an Australian Dog, an ICT!

Just when I think the list of ICT's to learn for this course must surely be exhaustive, I am introduced to Diigo. This site allows you to carefully guide a students research by downloading a toolbar which allows you to bookmark useful and scholarly websites and add them to a library. Students can access this library when you add them to create a 'group' so that, whilst self-directed, their research is safe, effective and relevant.

Additionally, and this is the part I loved, there are sticky-notes, yes, sticky-notes. On any web page on the Internet you can highlight areas and apply sticky notes that will appear for the student to view when they open the page. These can contain comments, suggestions and questions posed to students for reflection, learning, assessments and homework. It allows additional activities to be supplied to those students wishing to excel and can be used to present concepts in many different ways for those that are struggling to grasp a particular topic.

Overall very useful and well worth a visit. Check it out @ Diigo!
