What is Diigo?

Diigo is a powerful online research tool and collaborative research platform that integrates several key technologies, including social bookmarking, web annotation, tagging, and group-based collaboration, to enable a whole new process of online knowledge management and participatory learning in the 21st century.

What are the benefits of Diigo?

Diigo lists are easily accessible for anyone. Teachers can use it to bookmark online resources for their students to explore. It provides teachers with the opportunity to assign their students activities that they may need to complete by using the specific bookmark. It is user friendly for all ages because the age and academic appropriate resources are all listed on one web page.

Diigo Activity

We have created a Diigo tool that provides kindergarten teachers and students with a great variety of online resources that focus primarily on ABC recognition and basic phonics skills. We have provided two seperate sections. The first section is for teachers and provides teachers with some links to worksheets, activties and games that will help their students recognize letters, produce corresponding sounds, initial sound fluency, etc. The second section is for kindergarten students. Under this section there are links that direct students to interactive phonics games and songs.

How can I use Diigo in my classroom?

In kindergarten, students are being introduced to the use of computers and how to appropriately utilize online resources. My using Diigo, I can bookmark specific websites, games and songs for my students. Then I can easily lead them to the link to my Diigo where they will have access to all the appropraite links and games they can play during literacy or math centers.
