Diigo

If you haven't noticed I keep changing the layout and general overall look of my blog.  I added two links to follow me on twitter and my diigo library.  I also changed my last blog to make my embedded Prezume fit better.  You might want to take a gander at that.

Anyway, on Friday after posting my last blog, I came to the conclusion that specifically for this class I need to change internet search engines.  I have started using Chrome.  It seems to me that if you are using Google products you need to use all Google products.  Same goes with Apple and Microsoft.  Things just seem to work together better and are a lot less frustrating.

Recently I spent some time messing around with Diigo.  This is a pretty cool bookmarking app.  After installing the diigolet app I started gathering articles for my Diigo library.  So far my library is small, but it is

expanding.  The diigolet app has many functions.  I found the screnn shot feature fun. I started grabbing

 screen shots and then I found I could dd sticky notes and highlights right on the screen shot.

I also bookmarked an article on how to add a widget to blogger.  Some of you may find that interesting.

This whole app again applies to all of the ISTE-NETS-T standards, but one standard really shines with this app:  Standard 5;  Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership.  With the use of Diigo, I can organize and store articles, images, and person thoughts on topics important to my personal and professional growth.  This information can be shared with others and others can share with you.
