Thing #6

From Web 2.0 award nominees I selected browsers and web extensions. I am familiar with firefox - it is used at A.P.S.U.  I use IGoogle on my home computer, I have personalized my home page.  I am comfortable with it and works well for my uses.  I chose diigo to explore further.  It is user friendly.  I made a list of current web sites I access often.  This is a great web list sharing tool.  I can allow others to access my list and I am able to access their, with an invitation.   The internet is vast and no one person can know everything or know all possible web sites to be used for a class or remediation. List sharing is a great way to increase your knowledge of web site without spending time looking things up.  I list is marked/tagged with specifics; so if your are looking for similar information you can use someone else's web list.  Information sharing is what makes us better educators/researchers, diigo is great for that.  I think using diigo in a library would be awesome, teachers would be able to give students specific teacher investigated sites for projects, remediation or just fun.http://www.diigo.com/user/eleininger
