Hi Dan – yes of course Ultralab! We have aschool login for del.icio.us at the moment. del.icio.us/priestsic
Keep checking the blog as I get stuck into using Diigo more as stated and let me know what you think.

Futurelab is still very much here – I think you’re referring to Ultralab – which sadly is no more.

I agree that it should be schools sharing with schools but with the understanding that it is schools as made up of lots of individuals sharing ideas/resources (I am quite sure that tagging within schools will still be emergent folksonomies, so descriptions formed through groups of people tagging). To begin with it will be the ‘early adopters’ but over time I think this could be a great tool for sharing resources.

Diigo does link all of it’s tags directly into del.ici.ous as well – so perhaps this is where there is even greater scope for cross over.

Incidentally, do you have one school logon for the account or does each student have their own login?

Hi Dan – many thanks for your comment, I use del.icio.us for bookmarking and the network feature is the equivalent of what you refer to in Diigo. We have begun a schoolwide del.icio.us account and it would be great to add other schools to that network, so not just keen individual to keen individual but school to school sharing of these resources. Thanks again, I would be interested in hearing what sort of work is going on at FutureLab at the moment – although I had heard it no longer existed??

Great post Tom, thanks. You mentioned Diigo’s annotation/tagging – as more and more teachers begin to use this, I think it will provide a fantastic way to share resources between professionals when constructing learning experiences.
For example, my growing list of tools http://www.diigo.com/user/dannno/tool could become really useful when linked to others’ lists through Diigo’s sharing function etc.

Thanks for this, Tom – it’s got me thinking. As I posted over at my blog, however, is that Firefox and toolbars for Internet Explorer aren’t allowed at our school…
