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 that I use to directly support my classes.

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 take a closer look at Diigo and how you can use it in the classroom.
