Title: Sharing & Finding Bookmarks
Course: Tech Tools for Teachers > Section: Online Bookmarking

Using Diigo to share resources and to find others' resources

Online bookmarking tools, aka social bookmarking tools, are by their very nature public. Because they're curated by people, social bookmarking collections enable valuable resources to stand out, rather than falling where ever a search engine algorithm ranks them. Online bookmarking tools also enable you to share resources directly to individual users or groups (private or public), along with your thoughts, and without cluttering email inboxes.
