Lab Handouts Procedures -
Procedure 1: Create user accounts for all students using a Diigo educator account Procedure 2: Introduce Diigo to students - show them your Diigo page - don't worry about teaching tagging at this point. Procedure
3: Show students how search results on the site are limited to things other people have bookmarked and found useful - have them locate 1 site related to their topic and to bookmark it and
1 site on a topic they find interesting (a video game, sports, fashion, etc.) Procedure 4: Have students bookmark a
site located using a search engine outside of the site. Procedure 5: To introduce students to citation, start a brief
discussion on internet piracy - break students up into groups and have one group discuss the piracy of music, another of books, another of movies - have students brainstorm/mind map what
they know about theft and apply it to digital theft. Procedure 6: Explain how we cite and show an example from OWL lab (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/)
- have students discuss what citation has to do with theft and if necessary distribute news articles related to these topics to help spur discussion. Procedure 7: Distribute citation sheets to help students record information in print sources and to go back to Diigo bookmarked sites and create citations for those. Procedure
8: Students narrow down sources to 4 main sources (2 print 2 digital) Procedure 9: Students create just the works cited page.
