Tool #5

I joined the social bookmarking site called Diigo. It took awhile for me to understand how to bookmark sites and use tags, but it was fun to explore. I think I still have a lot to learn about using this site, but I like what I have seen so far.

• One of the sites that I found using Diigo was Enchanted Learning. I really liked this site because it had activities for kids of all ages. You can find interesting activities by theme, subject, holiday, etc.
• The second site that I found was First Grade Math Skill Builders. I think that this site will be helpful because it has interactive math activities broken up by topics. You can find engaging activities for lots of math topics including telling time, patterns, place value, and much more.
• Another site that I believe will be helpful is The Teacher's Corner. This website has lots of resources for teachers including bulletin board ideas, thematic units, and lesson plans.

The tags that I used to find these sites were: education, resources, and teaching

I think that a website such as Diigo would be helpful in the classroom for many reasons. The students can use it on research projects and search for information by tags. It would be helpful for me as a teacher because I can use it to bookmark good websites. The lists are also a great tool so that you can organize the information that you find.
