I investigated Diigo instead of Delicious as I had looked at
Delicious previously and did not make very good use of it possibly due to lack
of understanding and time…so I decided to try something new. These Web 2.0 tools are definitely easy to
use and time effective for busy teachers. I found so many interesting and
relevant articles via Diigo that I could easily spend days reading,
investigating and pondering how to change my practice. The ‘My Groups’ and ability to pursue a topic
via ‘Tags’ makes searching for interesting content super easy. My interest is piqued by quite a few articles
I have bookmarked and I am keen to keep ‘mining the gold’ in the groups I have
joined.
The ‘time’ factor continues to plague me, I would dearly
love to ‘shut the world out’ for a while to investigate and explore but that seems
to negate the whole purpose of Web 2.0 tools, i.e. collaboration. I continue to feel the challenge of keeping a
healthy work/life/learning balance.
