My Diigo Lists & WebSlides

An article by Darin Wagner    No Comments

I have been using Diigo for my social bookmarking site for over a year now and am still discovering great features. I was scanning some of my bookmarks when I saw the link to “My Lists“. My Lists allows me to create a specific collection of bookmarks on a particular topic. After I have added some of my bookmarks to My List, I can drag and drop bookmarks to arrange the order of the list. Very cool. But more exiting to me was the next feature – I can present My List as a slide show! Courtesy of WebSlide, My Lists can be shared and viewed by others. Very, very cool.

Tool: WebSlides

What Is “WebSlides“?

A new way of organizing, sharing, and presenting web content.

Why Use “WebSlides“?

This tool gives me a way for me to share bookmarks in a visually instead of just sending links as text in an email. My bookmarks and web site feeds are now interactive slide shows!

Instructional Ideas for “WebSlides“…

• Provide a quick briefing, a simple tutorial or guided tour on any subject
• Re-mix and re-package blog posts to encourage browsing and embedding
• Create a guided tour of selected web sites
• Bundle important web course resources for students
• And so much more!
