Joining a Diigo Group

I have joined 4 groups in Diigo and have created a group for my kindergarten colleagues and I to share information.  The group that I am going to reflect on is Interactive Whiteboards in the Classroom.  I was searching for kindergarten flipcharts when I stumbled upon this group.  I found some of the links helpful.  I loved that I was able to see how many times it had been viewed and some of the comments were revealed.  There is plenty of information at a glance so that I can quickly decide which bookmark will be most helpful. 

One of the bookmarks that I enjoyed was a link to Spelling City that was set up for Veteran's Day.  This helped open my eyes to other ways I could utilize SpellingCity.com for my students!  I have been simply using it for our 60 kindergarten sight words.  I have several students that could use some more challenging words.  I was inspired to create more lists and allow students access to spelling city at computer/ipad center. 

Another bookmark that had several positive comments was the Super Teacher Tools bookmark.  While searching this site, it lead me to another site called My Instant Classroom and has a seating chart maker, a random name selector and a classroom group maker.  Although this is not something I don't have created, I was eager to explore and see how helpful this sight would be with my teacher ipad.  It would be a quick and easy way for me to have access to that information.

Finally, I checked out the bookmark, Fav Ipad Apps K-8.  I wasn't sure what to expect, but when I went to http://askatechteacher.wordpress.com/2012/04/11/107-favorite-ipad-apps-for-k-8/  I found lots of apps organized by subject.  I did not get a chance to explore all of them; however, the title and descriptions were detailed enough to see if they would be useful, but not lengthy and cluttered. 

I am excited to see what other bookmarks my Diigo groups bring next!
