Although Diigo has been around since 2006, I’m just now discovering this fantastic tool, thanks to an e-learning course offered by the University of Wisconsin at Stout.
According to Wikipedia, Diigo is “a social bookmarking website which allows signed-up users to bookmark and tag web-pages. Additionally, it allows users to highlight any part of a webpage and attach sticky notes to specific highlights or to a whole page.”
Well, it’s that and lots more. Once you’ve installed the Diigo toolbar, you can highlight text, pictures, or an entire web page, and then share it within a group in Diigo, or to individuals via e-mail. There are also collaborative features, including one that allows you to create a group knowledge depository. Check out the collaborative features here.
For a more general introduction to Diigo and its capabilities, see the video below. Tip: Switch to full-screen view for a clearer look at how to navigate the interface.
