I actually could have my students use this tool when they go out on the web to find sites that help to teach Social Studies content. I already have them do something like this, but just have them post it to a forum in Bb. This could be a more robust way of collecting the information. I just don’t know how I could get access to all of their work in order to check their accountability. Would I create a class diigo account and everyone would post there? It seems a little like adding a layer of complexity (web 2.0 tech) to the assignment. I can see how it would be great for them going forward to gather and capture their resources so they’re all in one place.
3. As you learn about new tools from this point forward make sure to bookmark them in Diigo.
I have a lot in my Weebly and in Bb I could transfer over. How would I then give my students access without them being able to change or add? Is there a way to link to Bb?
4. Create an account at Dropbox.com. Create at least three folders in Dropbox for content you may want to upload. Upload at least one document into a folder. Take a screenshot of your page showing what you uploaded into Dropbox and put it into your portfolio.Optional: download the Dropbox application to your computer, tablet, or mobile device

I still feel like a beginner at this – it doesn’t come easily for some reason. I know how to get to it and understand fully how it can be a help, but I don’t have it down yet. I keep losing the screenshots and where to find them.
