Diigo
I had a terrible time in class last week trying to figure out Diigo on those old PCs down in the computer lab! I was using Internet Explorer, the only browser I've ever really used, and couldn't keep up. I kept getting stuck trying to get the diigolet to show up in my Favorites bar. Finally, tonight...Eureka! I found success on my own home PC (which we recently upgraded after using one that was over 12 years old). I was able to successfully bookmark a minimum of 10 sites--as per instructions--and happily viewed each one in my library to be sure it appeared. I have to admit that I stole the sites from a list titled "Top 10 Cool Math Websites" that my fourth grade son brought home from school back in September. Ever since then we've kept the list by the computer, just in case the "Add to Favorites" option in Internet Explorer somehow failed us. However, what I've found with Diigo is that, as long as I'm logged in to my account, my son can access his favorite websites on any computer, not just our home computer, including my laptop, which I often have with me during lengthy waits for doctor appointments. I mostly focused on math websites, but of course Diigo can also help enhance literacy skills.
