What is Diigo? What does it do? ">What is Diigo? What does it do?
Diigo is a free social bookmarking, research, and knowledge sharing tool created to mimic the ease of taking notes while providing a network for sharing and discovering information. Diigo allows you to take personal notes and highlight text information on web pages just as you would on a piece of paper. You can then bookmark and save this information for further review, while adding tags to keep everything organized. In bookmarking this information, you can also choose to share with colleagues and friends to allow them to access the web page, view your notes and highlights, and add their own annotations. All of this information is also saved online and can be accessed by any computer or browser, including cell phones with browsing capabilities. For a more illustrative explanation of of how Diigo works, view the video below from Diigo's website.

IV. Demonstration of Educational Value">IV. Demonstration of Educational Value
----
In the elementary education setting, Diigo can be a great tool to for teachers to be able to communicate with the parents or vice versa about questions or comments about student's homework, test, behavior, etc. Also teachers can upload assignments and lectures on Diigo for a student who had to miss school for any reason. The teachers can leave comments on the assignments to help the students understand what is going on, or highlight important aspects of the assignment or lectures. Secondary education students can use Diigo for communication with other peers in the different schools, states, or countries. Diigo is a great way for online discussions with people who cannot communicate in person. Diigo is an excellent tool for obtaining perspectives, knowledge, and information from other peers who think differently. When working on class projects, students obtain information from students with different educational backgrounds, or schooling types to broaden their research. For college level students, Diigo is a great way for students to share information. For example, a project team, a class, or a club can create a group on Diigo to pool relevant resources, findings and thoughts together 7. Diigo makes it easy to share information and ideas with people if you cannot talk to them in person. In the business industry an employee can use Diigo to find people with similar interest of jobs to discuss business and other corporation information.
Diigo’s current educational value is a research and bookmarking website. Teachers are able to post information on Diigo and then have students look up more information and combine it all while using information already posted on Diigo for group projects6. Students can combine their thoughts and research on a Diigo page to write a paper that includes credible information. Students can share their opinions with peers across the country and get different insights from different perspectives. Diigo allows students to communicate with one another like they were face to face.

V. How is Diigo Used Internationally?">V. How is Diigo Used Internationally?
If Team Diigo had international partners we would explain to them what Diigo is about and then we would exchange e-mails on how to use Diigo. We would also try to include them in everything we did to create a Diigo page. We would add them to our friend's on Diigo. We think that everyone would get along and we could work through the cultural differences. Also Diigo would be great to use if we had international partners because we could easily communicate with them by leaving comments back and forth or even instant messaging. Also it would be great to have an international prespective on how Diigo works and what kind of uses Diigo has in other countries.

*** If we get a 94% or higher (or a superior rating) on Project II we do not have to take the final... Hopefully this motivates us all to work hard at this project and to do an excellent job!
*** We have a practice run the night before Thanksgiving Break (November 25, 2008) I do not know what time it is yet. I know all of you will not be able to make it but I hope most of you can. The run through will be beneficial for the final showcase.
*** The final showcase will be held on December 4, 2008. I do not know what time yet (I think it may be from 5:00 to 9:00 pm). We will have to figure out what we will wear and how we are going to organize and set up everything a little bit later. I will give you more information as the date comes closer.

I think you should finish the draft of the chapter by next Monday. Then I will read it and discuss with you about the improvement next Wedesday. In this week's lab, you can decide the responsibility of writing the chapter, maybe everyone write a section of the chapter? Rachel, could you please compile everyone's work together on the wiki after they submit their work? Does that sound good?
You can also chek other group's work, I think the twitter group did a good job.
