Community reviews for Diigo

Setting up classes (into groups) does take time, but it results in much better management of the students and the resources they collect.

Diigo started out as an okay social bookmarking site and has grown into a dynamic, multi-layered research and management suite of tools and apps. My greatest frustration last year was when our district disable the extensions in Chrome, rendering it impossible for my students to fully use the features on Diigo. I love the ability to create groups and lists, to subscribe students, to get into the student's account as an admin to help them with passwords etc., and to create classrooms as the teacher. Have a number of Chrome extensions is great as well. It could be a better site were the interface simplified and the screens less text heavy. My students found it difficult to navigate at first, but grew increasingly more comfortable with using it. (AP Lit, heterogenous 10th graders in a self-directed project based learning pilot, and struggling ninth graders all used the tools effectively before being shut out. Even then, the list and groups still functioned.) Little extra features I like include a "Read It Later" button that lets you do just that with an article, and the ability to tag each entry. Sometimes tagging can be a frustration as you create accidental tags. Easier means of editing lists -- perhaps more visually and less "check box" wise -- could be helpful. (A "drag the link you want to remove to this box")

This app/website allows students to connect with text on a deeper level, as well as to share that information with others.

Diigo is a powerful tool. It is easy to use with the browser add ons. It allows students and teachers to tag and bookmark sites together for projects and like interests. The annotation feature is very powerful and easy to use (highlight and add stickies to sites) Use this product with other teachers to gather resources for a lesson. Read and annotate online articles. Share research in teams.

Diigo is a great social bookmarking site. I often use it to create a custom list of websites for students researching specific topics. I mainly use it to gather resources for myself, however, as it can be wonky when presented on a smartboard.

This is a wonderful tool to help students organize all of the web pages, articles, essays, etc. they find on the web and need to save, organize and keep for later use. The best thing about it is that it is collaborative, and other users research tag and organize their work as well, so if you need to find information on a subject you can look and see what others have found.

Diigo is a great application for research - whether individual or collaborative. Its interactive web features, e.g. highlighting and annotation, enhance internet research and provides a intuitive way of organizing websites.

Diigo is the ultimate classroom research tool for project based learning. It provides classroom teachers with a safe way for students to collect and collaborate information. It provides tools such as web highlighting, screen shots, tagging, and more. Diggo offers a school account or an individual educator account. Educators can create a free account and enroll their students without an email. Teachers also have full control of student accounts, which allows them to collaborate safely.
