And the winner is…..
Diigo
RecommendationAfter exploring both websites, Diigo knocks out
Delicious. The final punch is Diigo’s ability to create educator
accounts. This helps teachers create virtual classroom and have safe discussions.
Students are able to have their own accounts but they are shielded from the other users which helps protects the students privacy.
The Ads in user accounts are also educational, which erases the concern of inappropriate advertisements.
This type of technology will help student research and keep track of their ideas.
It also allows the students to share their thoughts among each other.
This website will also prepare students for different types of technology that they may encounter in the professional world.
The multi-tasking and organizational abilities of the websites will enrich the students’ learning experience.
