Diigo allows for academic posts, highlighting of important
text, and saving of sources for a bibliography.
• When doing projects, it is easy to leave messages for group
members, share posts, and add sticky notes.
• Connect to others of similar interests, when for example,
looking for reviews of books or examine historical theories
• Organize videos, maps, or images to use as visuals
• Instructors can even videotape their lectures and add to a
private classroom group so that absent students can view the
lesson.
