In order to effectively organize information on the Internet, Diigo is a tool for exploring the Internet and utilizing it for classroom instruction. I have tagged various sites based on curriculum requirements for teaching third grade. As I surf the net for this tech class looking for information about blogs, wikis, and digital storytelling, I found web sites related to reader's workshop, Native Americans, and rocks and minerals that I tagged and bookmarked

I noticed some sites for my next social studies' unit on explorers. I found an excellent example of a student report on Christopher Columbus. I bookmarked the site and tagged it with explorers. Upon further perusal, I Posted a sticky note to the student's report on Christopher Columbus so that it could be used as an exemplar for my students.
After I bookmarked a web page with multiple sites on rocks and minerals, I highlighted a link on rocks and minerals. I can refer to this link when I teach this unit next month. My students will learn about the formation of the three different types of rocks.
When I was looking for information on my animoto for the phases of the moon, I came across Mrs. Donald's web page. After bookmarking her page, I also took a picture of her web page because she had used Oreo cookies to display the phases of the moon.
These are the various ways I am managing Diigo as a resource.
If only we could use Oreos to represent phases of the moon. Think about how much fun the kids would have!! And imagine how many times I would probably drop into your classroom to sample the work...
