March Teach Us Lesson

Today Deborah and I presented our March teach us tool to the class. I think overall it went fairly well, other than the problem I had at the start in uploading my screen. As I listened to the recording I think my voice sounds a little funny, but the teaching aspect of it went decent enough!

Deb and I took turns explaining and showing what Diigo has to offer as a social bookmarking tool, using screen share in elluminate.

We explained how you can choose to add the Diigo toolbar which some like and others don’t, or if you prefer you can use the Diigolette on any computer as you just have to drag it to the top. By using the Diigolette it disappears every time you exit Internet Explorer, and is easy to get. This would be handy when using a computer that is not yours as you don’t have to download anything.

I talked about how to bookmark, as well as the highlighting tool. Showing everyone who was there how to do these things, and what it looks like when saved into your Diigo Library. If you are ever wanting to search for something it is very simple to put your topic in the search bar, and look in the community library. I am sure you will find something to interest you!Overall I think the presentation went good, and I hope that anyone who did not know a whole lot about Diigo and what it has to offer now knows, from what we showed them!

Now that I have been exploring Diigo, and have a pretty good handle on how to use it, I will continue to use it to bookmark websites that I think will be helpful as a future teacher!
