I've Been Social Bookmarking and Didn't Know It!

I didn't know that my addiction to Pinterest was really social bookmarking.  I love the ease of finding things quickly on a certain topic.  It is also interesting to share ideas with your friends who follow you.  I think that Diigo is more powerful, however, when it comes to research and organizing information for school and work.  It could be that I feel that way because I am using Pinterest for crafts, recipes, and lesson ideas.  I don't usually find articles or more "formal" information that I have in my Diigo bookmarks.

Here are some books I found on Pinterest for Ground Hog Day coming up this Saturday.

  1. I felt the same way when I learned about social bookmarking! I have been doing it and didn't know it! I still prefer Pinterest to Diigo because I feel that it is more user friendly and visually appealing. Diigo is very useful as an educator, however, because I can save a wider variety of classroom resources. I think they are both amazing tools!

  2. Thanks, Diana! Great book suggestions. I too love pinterest and find great teaching ideas. I wish we had started Diigo in the beginning of this program, we could have filled it with all the articles we have read over the year.
