Diigo is an online service for social bookmarking. It allows a user to collect links to many online resources and to highlight, annotate, tag these resources. It is social in the sense that as a user you designate your stored bookmarks as public or private and offer the public bookmarks to others in various ways.
I have not thought about social bookmarking systems as a way to layer and then share personal additions to online material, but it just occurred to me that this is the case. Here is what that looks like. I just read and annotated a Forbes article offering suggestions for educators working in a concurrent classroom (students simultaneously FTF and online). I highlighted the article and saved the link as part of my bookmarks. The following is what others would encounter when using the Diigo link to this resource. The free Diigo extension must be installed to see the public annotations of another Diigo user.
