**// What is it? //**

 * According to Tyler Manolovitz a Diigo is "a free social bookmarking, research, and knowledge sharing tool created to mimic the ease of taking notes while providing a network for sharing and discovering information." ("Highlight and Share the Web" by Tyler Manolovitz https://files.pbworks.com/download/xtHwaSrOpj/digitalresearchtools/17801725/Diigo%20Description.pdf )

**// How was it used? //**
We used a Diigo to bookmark a variety of educational website that we believed would be useful to our future classroom. We created a list of these websites and saved them under "Educational Websites" in our Diigo. We had the choice to download a Diigo toolbar to keep on our web browser so when we went through any websites we could save it to our Diigo list with just the click of a button. Diigo is the most useful and new tool I have learned how to use throughout this class. It is simple and convenient, yet it helps organize so many things for me. I know I will keep this Diigo list growing throughout my career as I find more and more useful technologies and websites for my classroom.

// NETS Standards //
Mostly I would categorize a Diigo as fulfilling the standard of Research and Information Fluency. A diigo perfectly connects to part b. of this standard in that it helps students " locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media."
