I’m a “tab” person, I found tab browsing and tabbed tweeting the easiest way to handle the flow of information I need to digest.
Have you tried Hootsuite?
Here’s a short video which explains 5 reasons why you might find it useful!

A nice way to share a group of URLs is to “box” them together using a service such as Simplybox.
If you are new to Simplybox you can watch this overview here to get an idea of what Simplybox is all about.
Once you’ve added the webpages (you can tag and describe them) then you can choose to share the box publicly via URL or by embedding a widget – shame this doesn’t seem to work on Moodle or edublogs but it does look great on a wiki!
Embed widget for your wiki- plays as slide show
Another nice feature is the print options. If you select “view as list” then choose print (e.g select pdf) you can create an archived version of the comments on that selection of webadresses.
This is very useful in training or with language learners if they are using sites and need to discuss, the record might be helpful for some who prefer off-screen reading or for showing progression and continuity of comments.
In comparison to using Diigo, I’d say the pros of Simplybox are that the boxing is simple and user-oriented. You can save the part of the website you want to “capture” by dragging your mouse over the area. This can help visitors to see the part you are pointing them to.

One of the drawbacks, is the person doing the bookmarking needs to add another bookmarklet to their browser.
What do you think? Have you got any feedback from students/trainees?
It was great to hear that TEFL Clips won an ELTON award.
Well deserved and although the The Consultants-E EduNation, which was shortlisted, didn’t make it this year, we are happy that the award won in 2007 for the ICT in the Classroom online training course has lead to the launch of full Certicificate in ICT .
Having spent a year designing it with Director of Pedagogy, Nicky Hockly, and colleague Anne Fox, I’m currently working on the first iteration and Anne is tutoring a parallel course. Wonderful 😉
And TEFL clips won our favourite website poll so a round of applause to Jamie and all our appreciation for the useful YouTube lesson plans. Truely wonderful,
Valentina
Well how can I not blog about this???
This is a super summary of a hard week’s work of analysing. Week 8 of the ICT I tutor on is about chatware tools and chat projects. The group have spent a week viewing some webhead projects like and using some shared applications together first-hand. Here is a wonderful summary from one of the super ICT colleagues 😉 on the course.
Check out Seth’s Podomatic podcast to hear the group’s collective feedback.
