Diigo and Delicious are two very resourceful bookmarking tools that easily allow users to navigate through a variety of websites that may be particularly interesting and share those interests with others. I chose to sign up with Diigo, as it seemed to have more to offer. The way it allows you to research and share knowledge, and comment about the content in specific sites that you have found,can become a great source for communication amongst students in the classroom. For example, if a unit on insects is the focus, students can research different insect websites that are interesting and highlight cool facts that they have found and create a social group with other classmates about their findings, and the class members will also be able to view the higlighted information that each person found interesting.
Some of the websites I discovered and will be great resources for future use included:
