Learning Activity 3-D-1

Start Bookmarking

[No Submission]

1. Sign up for a Diigo account.
2. Bookmark at least three sites to your Diigo account. These should be sites you would like to share with your classmates (which we will do in Activity 3-E-1). You can save blogs, blog posts, resources, articles, or examples you have found through RSS search or other activities.
3. Tag your bookmarks with whatever tags make sense to you. One of the goals of this assignment is to start creating a resource which you will continue to use after the course is finished.
4. In addition to your personal tags, each site you want to share with your classmates should be tagged with the Diigo Group tag located in Forum > Facilitator Forum.

No submission is required for this assignment, but your bookmarks will be used in Activity 3-E-1.

INSTRUCTOR NOTES – Create a PUBLIC group for your BCEOL class (example: BCEOLFall13) provide the Diigo group name in Forums > Facilitator Forum. Use the group name as a class tag also.
