Diigo is a social bookmarking site that allows teachers and students to share interesting and useful links on the internet. I recorded this guide to show my students how to use one the most useful features Diigo has to offer: Annotations.
Annotations allow you to comment directly onto web pages. These comments can then be saved permanently and used by teachers to share hints and pointers with students, but also by students submitting their own thoughts and work as annotations to their teachers.
Follow this link to have a closer look at what Diigo is and what it does.
I hope you find this guide useful.

Dear Jose
Great video! And very wise of you to focus on just one of the Diigo features. Is annotating really the most useful feature?-What about the slideshows, the groups and the social networking tools? OK, maybe it is one the easiest to use with students… Diigo is the ideal tool to help develop students’ research skills and tagging itself can be turned into a comprehension exercise. As ever, thanks for sharing!
