11. And the winner is…..
Diigo

12. Recommendation
After exploring both websites, Diigo knocks out
Delicious.
The final punch is Diigo’s ability to create educator
accounts. This helps teachers create virtual
classroom and have safe discussions.
Students are able to have their own accounts but
they are shielded from the other users which helps
protects the students privacy.
The Ads in user accounts are also educational,
which erases the concern of inappropriate
advertisements.

13. This type of technology will help student
research and keep track of their ideas.
It also allows the students to share their
thoughts among each other.
This website will also prepare students for
different types of technology that they may
encounter in the professional world.
The multi-tasking and organizational abilities of
the websites will enrich the students’ learning
experience.
