This is my Diigo group, ARP - Game On. I have invited all of my critical friends and left it open to anyone else who wants to join it. It's all about using MMORPG's, like Guild Wars, to teach social skills to teens preparing them for the workforce. I have already found some great resources and articles to add to it.
I loved that we were able to make a group for all of our Action Research links with Diigo. I already had an account there, but had no idea that you could make groups with it as well. This will help me be more organized with my ARP and I can also see it as a useful tool for the classroom as well. I recently saw that they have education accounts as well and I will be looking forward to signing up for one of those once I have a teaching position somewhere.
With the Diigo group feature you can add your own group logo and invite friends as well. These are great additional features. I also installed their toolbar for my web browser and their iPhone application so that I have an offline reader as well. In my opinion Diigo is one of the better social bookmarking applications out there. The ability to highlight the articles that you bookmark make it a great educational tool. You can even save images and notes to it. To me it is an all around user friendly application that I can use no matter where I am or what platform I am using.
