In today’s online environment, various social media platforms enhance learning experiences and foster collaboration. In this lesson, we will explore two valuable tools: Diigo, a social bookmarking site, and Scoop.it, a content curation tool. Diigo enables you to save, annotate, and share bookmarks, helping you organize and retrieve valuable resources efficiently. Scoop.it facilitates the curation and sharing of content on specific topics, making it easier to gather and present information.
We hope you find this lesson both informative and useful. Please pay close attention and create accounts, as these platforms will play a key role in some of our activities.

Diigo is a social bookmarking and annotation tool that lets individuals and groups highlight content and add comments to websites. It’s similar to a bookshelf where each book has highlighted sections, margin comments, and sticky notes to help you remember important information.
Teachers and students can use Diigo together to collect online resources, annotate websites, attach notes to content, and organize ideas from different sources. It helps keep track of important information and collaborate on research. Please review the resources on Diigo and watch the videos to create your account. These resources have been carefully selected to help you get started easily. Enjoy!

Scoop.it logo
Scoop.it is a social platform designed for curating and sharing content. It allows users to select relevant information, combine it, and publish it with personal analysis and comments. Based on a set of keywords chosen by the curators, Scoop.it creates a content stream and offers a range of information sources managed by the users.
Curators can add their own selected content and also include material published by other curators on similar topics. The platform functions as a social media network where curators follow each other and engage with their peers' scoops. Please review the slides above and use the videos to create your account and familiarize yourself with how Scoop.it works. Happy learning!
