Reflection: As you can see, I did not utilize Diigo at all, however, I feel that it is one of the many networks that I will benefit from in the future. I have heard many positive things about Diigo, but I guess I became so accustomed to using the Google search engine whenever I need to obtain any type of information. I could have bookmarked a whole day just to meet the PLN requirement, however, I feel it is best fitting to reflect on why I rarely even used it. There are many advantages and disadvantages of using a bookmarking network such as Diigo which are as follows:
Advantages:
Social bookmarking websites enhance and improve the learning experience by encouraging group collaboration and making organizing and saving web resources faster and easier for students.
Social bookmarking services offer greater scope for research, integration, and collaboration compared to the more traditional bookmarking applications such as browsers, which offer limited functionality.
Among social bookmarking services, Diigo has features and functions that make it useful for the classroom, giving instructors tools for setting up groups of students, highlighting key information, and commenting.
Disadvantages:
Building a list of important bookmarks not only is time-consuming, but the list is only available on the individual user’s computer.
Large collections of bookmarks can quickly become unmanageable and disorganized.
Users may not remember why they created a bookmark or what part of the page they were trying to save.
