Once I played around with Diigo, I can see some real applications for using this in my courses. Rather than fool around with Youtube during classtime, I can easily access Diigo for my content. it's great during f2f because it is quick.

The best part of Diigo for me will be in my planning. I used to save applicable websites and readings to my computer (or on a flash drive) but that meant I had to be at my computer to do anything.Favorites unwieldy. It also made my  I can access Diigo from any computer and find the content immediately.

I used Diigo recently while at a training to save a URL that was mentioned so I could go back at look at it more thoroughly that evening.

I will share this with my students so they can set up an account to handle the plethora of teaching ideas websites as they prepare for their careers. In my online courses, I have students research articles and websites (and books) and compile an annotated bibliography on a particular topic. I can see them using Diigo for this instead. It would give them access for years to come and can be shared.
