Screencast: Using Diigo on Student Scribe Blogs as Test Reveiw "Sheets"

Thursday, 20 September 2007 Clay Burell Print This Post

Here’s one more tutorial, 4 minutes, on using Diigo on Scribe blogs as test review sheets, with students as members of a Diigo Group. I just trained my students today in AP Lit, set them up on the class Diigo Group, and “shared” my highlights and annotations of the class scribe posts (it only works on permalinks, not on main blog pages) with the kisAP07 group. They use that as “test reviw.”

Here it is:

You’re welcome, Chris. One glitch I just discovered is this: all those annotations disappeared when I got “theme-crazy” with our class blog. I changed themes several times to try out some new ones I’d installed, and even when I changed back to the originally annotated theme, the highlights and sticky notes were gone. They still exist on the Diigo Group bookmark page, though.

Scratch that last comment, Chris. They survive when you switch themes. Diigo had a bug that signed me out when I edited a sticky. That’s why it disappeared. Diigo is fixing it.

Clay, thanks for the screencast. I’m about to embark on 1 to 1 with 3,4,5th graders. Do you think Diigo, blogs, and Moodle will work with them?

Thanks,
Miguel

@Miguel, Gosh, 3-5th graders? I don’t have any experience working with them.

Moodle is easy enough to get the hang of; blogs too; Diigo too – from my experience in the upper secondary classroom.

I know our Middle School teachers use Moodle with no problems.

And I actually think more and more that, for the shift to really come, it has to come in the early years.

So I think you’d be doing your students and the education field a great service by showing that it’s possible for the primary kids to learn and use this stuff. By the time they hit high school. they’re largely too conditioned to think of school as textbooks and tests, and not as places of innovation.

[...] Instructify is finally letting me share information about one of my favorite online tools, Diigo. Diigo is a social bookmarking tool, but so much more. In addition to letting you bookmark pages, you can also annotate them. There are two tools you can use for this, highlighting and comments. Highlighting lets you highlight the actual text on a web page, and stores the highlighted words with your bookmark.Think of how useful this can be for online reading assignments in a class (no wonder it’s caught on with some high school AP teachers).
