So How Can I Use This in My Classroom?
Besides keeping your files and resources organized (no more sticky notes and "it's in here somewhere"), you could:
- Use Diigo to collaborate with others in your department or team (or even across the county), saving resources to one central location
- Use OneNote or LiveBinder to organize files, websites, videos, etc. by unit
- Teach students to create and maintain an e-portfolio
- Use LiveBinder to have students collect research and organize it
- Use Diigo to create pages where students add information throughout a unit or lesson (like a wiki)
- Use LiveBinder or Diigo to collect/organize resources you want the students to use for a lesson or project (give them the link to access it)
- LiveBinder is public - shop other people's stuff to get ideas for lessons etc.
