My Work Flow

• Find a resource usually through social media and my PLN.

• Tag it and bookmark it to Diigo. (I’ve previously installed bookmarklets or Chrome extensions that help with this). Sometimes these links go into lists and/or groups.

• If the resource is excellent, I’ll share it on social media.

• My Twitter activity is pulled into Paper.li and this tool publishes a daily set of resources.

• When I need a particular resource, I search my Diigo collection.
