I've been using Diigo for a while now. Only just recently did I discover that it can be used for education. I, as a student, have need for a decent bookmark site that will save my sites for access on any machine. It saves me the trouble of having to e-mail links to myself. For those of you who may not know what Diigo is, it's a social bookmarking site. You can bookmark websites, take a picture of the site and save it to the server, and you can surf through other people's bookmarks and comment on the pages. I went and did a little looking through some of the popular bookmarks and I found several involving education, like ideas for lesson plans, handy teaching tools, popular books to read., etc. One gave different ways that educators could use Pinterest in their classrooms. I really like Diigo, it's pretty handy for saving links for papers, copying online receipts, and other stuff I'm sure to use more when I have an actual job. I suggest you go check it out and experiment with it for yourselves.
Happy Reading!
