There is a tool I use every day, often more than once. I use it to curate ideas, resources, and research. The tool is called Diigo. It is a social bookmarking tool I use to support my classes directly.

I have been using Diigo since 2008 when I switched from Delicious, another social bookmarking tool. Diigo’s prime purpose is to bookmark websites and documents that you want to refer to later. I have nearly 21,000 items organized with 1,842 different tags.
My primary use for Diigo when supporting a class is the curation of resources while I am researching a topic. I do this with all my research projects.
In my classes, I will share a tag link rather than list countless resources. Every time I add something new to Diigo and that specific tag, the list automatically updates. Students get the latest and greatest from my research efforts.
This week we are going to examine Diigo and how you can use it in the classroom.
