4. First Step
• The first step for using Diigo for a new class is to create a new Diigo group
for the class.
Click the "Create A Group for My Class" link to create a group for your
class:
• While setting up a class group is fairly similar to a regular group, here are
a few differences:
• Recommended Keywords- grade and subject for the class should be
entered as keywords for the class. This can be done by simply by pointing-
and-clicking the grades and subjects.
• Group members as friends – You, as the teacher, have the option to
automatically make all students in the same class group as friends with
one another on Diigo so they can easily communicate with each other.
This is especially needed since student accounts have been pre-set to only
allow messages from friends only.
