Diigo has been a really useful tool and I am glad I have learned how to use it because it is going to be very helpful in my own classroom someday. Diigo is a useful tool because it allows teachers to share webpages with one another and point out the useful information on the page either by highlighting it or making a note. This is like a PLN because the teachers can connect with one another and share helpful information. Diigo is also useful for students and teachers to work together because teachers can share webpages and articles and different sources with the students to see and the teacher can highlight certain points and students can also make notes on the page and share with their peers what they found on the site. It is also useful for personal use because I can save webpages that I will need later on, and I can make notes on which information is most important and which sources will be most helpful.
