CHRISTMAS PRESENTATION

Thing 9

I use "Word" for my assignments and am happy with it. If I have to take notes and do not have access to a computer, I use a pencil and paper. :) Google docs would be good for students working in study groups. Everyone would have access to the group project and could update it and make changes as needed.

Thing 9

I took a look at Google Docs. Seems pretty simple & straightforward. Very similar to OpenOffice. Since it's accessible from any computer, and you don't need to download any software, you can easily share documents online with anyone who has a (free) google account.

Thing 8

I navigated my way through the Diigo site. It was easy enough. I will think about using this feature in the future. Right now I do not have time. The general public can use social bookmarking to share information with friends who have the same interests.

Thing 8

I was able to quickly set up my Diigo account & bookmark sites. It was so easy! Tagging makes it easy to locate an item using keywords, which I would find very handy. People could use this tool for sharing sites with others they know that have like interests.

Thing 8

I wasn't aware that bookmarks stayed with your computer, rather than your account. This could be useful when travelling, etc.

Thing 8!

Social bookmarking is a good idea just for the convenience of being able to access your bookmarks from any computer. I also like just browsing to see interesting news articles that people have recommended (used to visit Digg daily, but it just became too much of a time waster).

In theory, I like the idea. The reality, however, is that I'm too lazy and I hate tagging. It'd be nice if the social bookmarking sites gave you suggested tags (maybe they do, but I'm still too lazy!)

Edit: Posted this before I got my Diigo confirmation. They do have suggested tags on Diigo. I might start using this after all. I really like that you can post notes to and highlight text on the bookmarked sites as well.
