13. Regular Teacher Options
 You can create student accounts for an entire
class with just a few clicks, or by uploading a
class roaster CSV file (note: student email
addresses are optional for account creation)
 This solves a common complaint for many K-12 students, as
most systems require email to create account
 Students of the same class are automatically set
up as a Diigo group so they can start using all
the benefits that a Diigo group provides, such as
group bookmarks and annotations, and group
forums

14. Create Student Accounts
 HOWEVER, before you
proceed with new student
accounts creation, please
make sure your students
DON’T already have
existing Diigo account
(especially for domain
students)

18. Add Members to Class Group
(Recommendation for Domain Teachers)
Because all of your domain users should have
their own email / account already, and to avoid
account duplication through “create new student
accounts”, we recommend that domain teachers
add members to your group by:
 Option 1(easiest!) : Simply share your class
group name /link and ask your students to apply
to join this group
 Option 2: Invite your students and/or colleagues
to this group by entering their school email
(xxx@domain)
