Great to have you on board to one more journey into cyberspace. We'll start exploring the miscellaneous world of online bookmarking and the power it holds to connect to others, organize ourselves and share.
We could be here talking about many possibilities, but we decided to focus on one bookmarking platform that has made our lives easier in the past months and has great potential in the classroom. Diigo is the one!
Enjoy!

Week 1 - June 16 - 23
Social bookmarking is a way to make sense out of our miscellaneous world. By bookmarking, we can sort through the messiness of the digital world by saving what interests us in one spot and adding categories to our resources so that we can easily retrieve them whenever we need it. It's keeping the online treasures we find along the way for later retrieval and use. The social part gets in when we have a group of people sharing to their network what they have dug out there in cyberspace. The hyperlinks keep moving around through many groups, information is shared, knowledge is collectively constructed.
So, join us to dig Diigo and learn.
Task 1 - Watch the video and understand why we chose Diigo
Task 2 - If you already use an online bookmarking tool, share it with us
Make sure you add the "Diigo Toolbar" to your browser tool bar. This means that you'll be able to bookmark your resources, share and annotate them without the need to go to Diigo's homepage. With the Diigo Toolbar, you just click the "Bookmark" button and that's it!
Task 4 - Join our Learning with Computers Group at Diigo
I am curious about whether "the whole world" will always be able to view my post-its, or whether there's a way to mark them private only?
will I be bothered by the clutter of diigo?
if an organization's main site has diigo -- then others could post notes to the attention of the webmaster, alerting to a misspelling, a link that isn't working, etc..??? If this is done, would every visitor to that site see that post-it, or only diigo-users? And if the diigo comment/post-it were acted upon, could it be deleted or hidden?
if I use diigo with a secure site document (I'm presently a student with University of Phoenix Online, for example) or an intranet site, -- I'm assuming that I will be able to view my diigo notes, but others without the sites' passwords won't?
Is there a way to change the background color so it's not all blue?

I think are the messages I wouldn't like to read and they keep been shown in my sidebar (like_4 unread messages) maybe there is a way to "get rid of them" but I haven't found yet....

BTW, any idea why the name Diigo? The "go" seems sort of obvious but how about dii? "Digital I+I"?
