YouTube - Diigo V3: Highlight & Share the Web! Social Bookmarking 2.0
A professionally produced overview of Diigo. Good for the user looking to better understand the many features of Diigo. This video works to sell the service by showing you the technology and explaining the concepts underlying social bookmarking. As a long time delicious user, I understand the power of social bookmarking. As an online teacher and learner, I now use Diigo exclusively. (Although I have my Diigo account set up to automatically add all of my bookmarks to my Delicious account as well!) It's the best of both worlds!
YouTube - Teacher feedback with Diigo
The author of this video JD Travers ends his video presentation by saying "There's a lot more to Diigo than this little Trick". He's so right!
But as tricks go, this is very clever. Travers shows us how you can use Diigo and Google Groups to create an interactive discussion board. As a power-searcher and e-learning teacher I see great possibilities with this approach.
YouTube - Diigo presents WebSlides (New Version)
This video works best as a conceptual overview of how the Diigo slides feature can be used to create a variety of different web-based presentations. I'd recommend this video as an 'eye opener' to the potential uses for this remarkable social bookmarking site.
On the other hand, it is is not a 'How to' video. Well worth watching for anyone involved in e-learning, collaborative research, blended teaching environments, library media studies, web 2.0 communications.

25 Surprising Things That Google Knows About You by e-Justice Blog
Being online means being 'In Public'. We might know this intellectually, but seeing this list of what Google Knows, may shock some.
The real issue here is not that information about our online habits is stored by Google, it's how that information may be used.
By Courtney Phillips

Library Lesson Study: Teaching Library Information Skills
Executive Summary
Our interdisciplinary lesson study group developed a collaborative learning experience designed to introduce CST110 students to library resources and research skills. The lesson was both interactive and hands-on. It was intended to serve as the model or template for all librarians to use when providing information literacy instruction for CST 110 classes. It included general library information, instruction about, and hands-on experience with, several library databases, exercises in evaluating resource credibility, and exercises in generating American Psychological Association (APA) style citations from several library databases. We utilized the new lesson for the first time on February 8, 2006.

Clever use of Disney clips to make important conceptual points about copyright and fair use. The amusing and ironic part of all this is the in-famous chill the Disney company has put on educational fair use. By all means watch this video!

An important document for the school media specialist, that asks educators to engage students in interacting with contemporary media under the guidelines of fair use policies. This work has the potential to RADICALLY expand fair use for educators. WATCH THIS one!
This looks like a good way for students to learn about copyright in the digital age.
