We jumped in with both feet to Diigo. Using Yugma we set up the Diigo toolbar, created a group for Making Connections, and added sticky notes to those pages. We all agreed this tool has great possibilities in a classroom setting. We did encounter a few challenges when trying to add sticky notes to certain pages and we want to learn to highlight in different colors. Next week we will report back on how the kids react to using this site and the secret to changing highlight colors.
