Finding Common Ground

How else to announce that Diigo has educator accounts but to blog about it straight from Diigo?! I’ve been following the edudiigo threads in the Diigo forums and began a test with students in the last week or so. Today, Diigo is announcing free Educator Accounts.

From the Diigo blog:
… once approved for a Diigo Educator Account

• A teacher can create student accounts for an entire class with just a few clicks (and student email addresses are optional for account creation)
• Students of the same class are automatically set up as a Diigo group so they can start using all the benefits that a Diigo group provides, such as group bookmarks and annotations, and group forums.
• To protect the privacy of students, student accounts have special settings which only allow their teachers and classmates to contact them and access their personal profile information.
• Ads presented to student account users are limited to education-related sponsors.

Read the full post here and apply for an educator account too! The FAQ page may be helpful if you’re unsure about signing on. Jen Dorman has a great presentation about Diigo archived over on her Cliotech blog.
