Social Bookmarking: Introducing the Diigo Educator Account

Thursday, November 20, 2008 at 5:00 PM Pacific / 8:00 PM Eastern / 1:00 AM GMT (on Friday). FIXED TIME LINK. Links to video and audio recordings of the session will be available here soon afterwards.

Maggie Tsai, co-founder of Diigo and her special guest, Jennifer Dorman, will demo and discuss the first phase of "Diigo Educator Account:" a suite of features that makes it easy for teachers to get their entire class of students or their peers started on collaborative research using Diigo's web annotation and social bookmarking technology.

I can't seem to get the elluminate platform to work with my IE7 or firefox, so I won't be attending. I check out the archive though. Thanks.

I think the RSVP to an event is a new feature. See the upper right to add your availability.

BTW, Diigo is a nominee for the 2nd Annual Open Web Awards. Please cast your vote for Diigo here http://blog.diigo.com/2008/11/19/mashable-voting-opened-and-diigo-is-a-nominee/
