Day 17 Connected Educator Month: Social Bookmarking

The Web contains more information than a thousand libraries, and social bookmarking is a useful and fun way to organize it all. Having a presence on a social bookmarking site makes finding new resources and articles easy, because your network does the work for you. You’ll see what sites your friends and colleagues are bookmarking, and you can save links that are relevant to your interests. For a simple explanation of social bookmarking, watch the "Social Bookmarking in Plain English" video below.

Social bookmarking is one more tool to add to your connected learner toolbox. Let’s get started with social bookmarking. 

• Go to www.diigo.com and create an account. 
• Add the diigo buttons to your browser to make it easy to add sites. 
• Visit five different sites including your own blog and plpnetwork.com. While you’re there, use your new delicious button to bookmark and tag the sites. You might tag your own blog blog, education, CE14, connected educator, connected learner, etc. 
• Learn about using diigo as part of your personal learning network. 
• Go to your edublog and write about the benefits of social bookmarking. 

What sort of personal applications can you think of for using diigo?
