Social Bookmarking
Organizing digital information is becoming a big challenge as people continue to use the World Wide Web in news ways. The ability to recall the locations of favorite web sites, digital pictures, or important documents and email messages is crucial as the amount of data stored on both personal computers and the WWW increases.
Storing photographs or documents in folders on your personal computers is one way to categorize and locate information. Under this scheme, you might organize your digital pictures on your personal computer in folders according to the years that you took them, and then store related photos in folders beneath each year.
What's another way we can organize your computers? What about email? Your Favorite Websites? Your Blog Posts? RSS Feeds? Reply to this post with specific ways, websites that can help you, and anything else you would want to add.
Assignment:
1) Set up an account on Diigo.
2) Go to: http://groups.diigo.com/group/porfido and apply to be a group member (on right)
3) Save at least 20 total specific websites on Diigo using whichever tags appear to be the most useful if you had to do 4 reports or research (5 from each topic you choose) each of the following topics:
- The NFL Bounties OR the NHL Playoffs
- The NBA Playoffs
- School Bullying Laws
- Same Sex Marriage (High School Only can choose this one topic)
- 2012 Presidential Race
- Facebook IPO
- Counterterrorism and Homeland Security
5) Then you must add the site to the group Porfido (after you have been accepted membership).
6) Feel free to add other bookmarks to be used for personal use and continue using Diigo!
If you do not have 20 bookmarks (with tags & a description) added to the group Porfido before class on 5/21/2012 you will not get credit.
