Ok, I did the last two tools a little out of order (screencast-o-matic then diigo), BUT I see valid and immediately applicable applications (applicable applications? does that work?) for both.

In 10th grade, the our students give an informative speech. The formative work involves learning about research practices and procedures, and I'd love to offer students a place from which to start with their research -- I worry a little about having them simply collect bookmarks (basically I think it would be too easy to simply go back to that website and copy paste information), but a place from which to start would be great!

I also, like Megan Rohwer mentioned in her post, think Screencast-o-matic would be really helpful in teaching students how to format a page and create Works Cited pages.

Cool tools!

Here is a link to my screencast-o-matic video with directions for how to access the databases on the PCSH Media Center website and an overview of what's available. Enjoy!
