As teachers, we are constantly looking for new technology and applications to enhance student learning and engage students in different ways. Technology such as Diigo and InstaGrok allows students the opportunity to engage in visual learning while compiling information and research materials through bookmarking. The use of these websites promote collaboration, discussion and organization of information. To develop college and career ready students, research papers and projects are integral, and these are tools that will aid my students in organized information gathering and collaboration with other students.
Diigo is a wonderful tool for students. It allows for students to share articles, websites and information through posting of a link in the group page. This promotes collaboration among students. Also a great resource for students to compile comments and highlight information within shared documents.
