    Web Tool of the Week #8:

    Diigo.com

    Everyone has heard of Social Networking (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc.), but how about Social Bookmarking?

    Instead of using the “Favorites” tool in your web browser to save a website link that you like, want to share and/or will need later, consider using a social bookmarking web tool instead.  My favorite is Diigo.com.

    Below is a link to an earlier blog post I wrote about Diigo & the value of social bookmarking in education.  Please read the post is you want to learn more about this topic.  You’ll find a video that explains it in ‘plain English’, as well as some suggestions on how to use it with students.

    http://blog.discoveryeducation.com/newjersey/2009/05/27/students-internet-resources-21st-century-cavemen/

    Next week I’ll share info about how to create a Diigo Educator account!

    Happy Bookmarking :)

    EduCon 2.2 is both a conversation and a conference.
    And it is not a technology conference. It is an education conference. It is, hopefully, an innovation conference where we can come together, both in person and virtually, to discuss the future of schools. Every session will be an opportunity to discuss and debate ideas — from the very practical to the big dreams.

    1256484170_twitter_02.png 1256484162_facebook_02.png 1256484938_delicious.png
    The Axioms
    Guiding Principles of EduCon 2.2
    1) Our schools must be inquiry-driven, thoughtful and empowering for all members
    2) Our schools must be about co-creating — together with our students — the 21st Century Citizen
    3) Technology must serve pedagogy, not the other way around.
    4) Technology must enable students to research, create, communicate and collaborate
    5) Learning can — and must — be networked.

    Come across to the lot of neat things and fun websites that can keep almost anyone entertained. So, to kick off the weekend right, I’ve put together 10 fun websites and web activities from the obvious, like watching videos, to the not-so-obvious, like writing your own children story, to the downright I’m-so-bored like turning Wikipedia into the game.

    So, if you are looking for a fun website, or you’re just incredibly bored, try you hand at one of these web activities:

    ]]> http://blog.discoveryeducation.com/newjersey/2009/11/17/daily-dose-of-den-diigo-11172009/feed/ Diss Disorganization with Dropbox http://blog.discoveryeducation.com/newjersey/2009/11/16/diss-disorganization-with-dropbox/ http://blog.discoveryeducation.com/newjersey/2009/11/16/diss-disorganization-with-dropbox/#comments Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:54:08 +0000 Heather Sullivan http://blog.discoveryeducation.com/newjersey/2009/11/16/diss-disorganization-with-dropbox/ Web Tool of the Week #7: 

    DropBox.com  

     What is DropBox?

    • DropBox is a free file organization/storage tool that works both on & offline.  That is, you can download the software for free to use on your computer so you can access your files anytime, from anywhere from other computers.  The installation creates a Dropbox folder on your computer — drop in a file and it “miraculously” appears on all of your shared computers. 

    Why use DropBox?

    • The alternative: Not being able to access or share a file with someone because you left it on your “other” computer.
      •  It’s like a magic pocket! A single, secure place for all of your computer “stuff”.
      • You never have to remember where you “left” a file.  You can access all your files anytime you want from any computer that you have installed the software on.
      • You can access almost any type of file (even “specialty” files like Onenote & Zotero)
      • You can sync files between Mac’s & PC’s (you can even sync with you iPhone or iTouch).
      • All of your files are backed up and accessible on dropbox.com.
      • If your friends are members of Dropbox, you can copy files to a “share” folder so that they are allowed to add/edit/delete the files.
      • You can share files or photos to non-Dropbox users too. Just drop the file in a public folder and any files residing in the folder will be given a public link. Copy the public link and send via emails, IMs, etc. 

    Some Suggested Uses:

    • Group Projects with Colleagues
      • When you are using your laptop away from school, you don’t have access to the FRHSD network so you can’t access files that have been saved on the network drive (aka “H drive” & “Z Drive”). Saving a file in a “dropbox” will allow people you are working with to always see the most updated version of the file.   
    • File Access for students
      • With the public folder option, you can easily make files available for students to see.  And..when you update a file, students will automatically see the latest version!  (i.e: if you upload a document to your website for students to see the “traditional way” you would have to re-upload the newer version if you make any changes…) 
    • Password Synchronization
      • Most of us have too many online accounts to possibly remember all of our log-in info. There are now many tools that will help you manage your multitude of passwords, & most of them work well with dropbox.  The following link can give you more info:

    http://www.1ivebusiness.com/news/2831/

    Additional Info:

    Remember to share any web tools that you think your colleagues could benefit from.  Happy Organizing!
