Diigo is great for keeping all of your bookmarks organized and allowing you to access them from any computer, (especially when the school district re-images and you lose everything). It's kind of like iCloud for links. It's also great for finding cool tools and collaborating and sharing with colleagues around the world.

With the Diigolet bar or Chrome App, you can highlight and sticky note any website and save that information for your next visit!

You need to get an educator account by using your school email in order to get Teacher Console and use it with kids.
