It is always important, when collecting information, to stay
organized. In an electronic classroom this becomes the crux of teaching. As I
have collected many ESL teaching resources and activities I tested out two
social bookmarking programs. Diigo and Scoop.it are the two sites I signed up
for to test out.
For my preference, I liked Diigo better. It allows you to
follow people with similar interests and makes it very simple to collect your
bookmarks. It seems to be more of a
professional resource. The aesthetic look of the site isn’t that pleasing and
you can’t personalize it as much as the Scoop.it site allows.
With Scoop.it I was able to create different threads for
different topics for Scoop.it. Also, what was the coolest feature, I could sign
up through Facebook or Twitter. This makes it increasingly possible to share.
As with Diigo, you can follow topics.
With Diigo, you can preview what the bookmarked site looks
like without having to open the link. This makes it convenient to navigate through
for someone who has a visual memory.
What it comes down to is preference. Both sites offer plenty
of benefits.
Thanks for the brief comparison.
