Great for peer editing

My students have joined the Group. Now when they go to their web-logs, after logging in to their Diigo account and setting “Show Annotations > Show Group Annotations” on their Diigo toolbar, they will see the highlights of specific passages from their writing that I have left (and I can start students doing this too, it occurs to me in a very attractive flash), and my annotations will pop up on their screen when they hover their mouse over the highlights.

How cool is that? So what's the sequence for a classroom teacher? 1. Join Diigo 2. Create Diigo group (by class perhaps) 3. Have students join Diigo and class group 4. Demonstrate and teach students how to use Diigo to bookmark and mark web text 5. Model commenting and providing feedback using Diigo; show students how to access feedback Hmm... interesting to use on a blog where the feedback is an ongoing conversation about writing and process and the blog comments are likely to be conversation about product/ideas

Also good, our Diigo Groups Bookmarks page records all highlights and annotations I have made on one page. Students can use that to see all feedback I have given to specific strengths and weaknesses on all students writings.

Luckily, Chris Watson sparked an idea in one of our podcasted conversations about this problem: Somehow find a way to use Diigo to assess student web-log writing without defacing the students’ “intellectual property” and turning writing into “schooliness.”
