Diigo+Social+Bookmarking+Group


 * Social Bookmarking** is a fabulous Web 2.0 tool that allows someone who is surfing the web and bookmarking sites, to make those sites available to other teachers who are interested in the same topics -- to share those bookmarks, as well as highlighted sections, if desired. Although there are several tools out there that do this, Nebo District Social Studies will be using **Diigo**, which is an excellent tool for this purpose.

Although you may be able to find your way around in Diigo, and the instructions below might help get you started, if you want help with this tool, contact Cory Little at the district office (cory.little@nebo.edu 8/01-354-7485). I can probably talk you through things on the phone, but would also be happy to visit your school and help you, and hopefully your department, get started.
