I decided not to sign up for Delicious, because I tried that once and found it overwhelming, plus I can't find the username and password. Instead, I signed up for Diigo. I figured since the instructions were in the book it would be quite helpful.It was very easy to sign up! I picked an simple username and password that I could share with my students. I like the fact that it is primarily safe to use in schools and teachers can set privacy settings to classmates only. Unfortunately, it appears that there will be some educational ads. I would prefer no advertisements, but I will have to see what they're like.
Anyway, I now have an account. I had a little difficulty in putting Diigo on the toolbar. The instructions in Richardson's book are different now. There was a little symbol of a yellow star with a green arrow on it ...and that is where you add items to the tool bar.I also started to put some of my favourites in Diigo. Here are the problems here: While on the site I have to copy and paste the site into Diigo. After the set up, I can't click the back button to go back to that site again. With just adding to favourites you click add and then it is done, plus you page is still there. Maybe I am doing something wrong??
As of now, I have added several sites to Diigo. I haven't figured out how to share them or see others?? That is my next challenge. How will I share this social bookmark with you?? I don't think there is a link? How will I use this in the classroom? The adventure begins!
