EDUC 628-Spring-08

Clay Burell writes in his Beyond School located here the following:

Three weeks after the Diigo stampede, I’ve been concerned that the new trend of putting Diigo annotations on postsinstead of leaving comments in the thread was a negative thing. Only Diigo users would see the conversation, and the post’s comment thread would be left poorer for that.

But after a wild four-hour storm of 74-and-counting comments on my Muhammed Ali post about privileging writing over other communication strands when we grade, it occurs to me that Diigo might come in handy here. There are so many incredibly insightful comments there, and the issue is so relevant to the futures of our students, that I fear the sheer bulk of comments might dissuade new readers from discovering the gold shining here and there.

I visited the Diigo site briefly to see what was up, with the highlighting on the web, etc., and thought I would post here for you tech savvy bloggers, which I am not.

 There is a demo from the Diigo site here which could help figure out how to use it—if you want to use it.
