Diigo Groups • Over 4,800 Education Groups on Diigo • Groups are individuals with common interests that center around key topics. • Generally, opened to everyone but there are also closed groups like classroom groups • Group Roles: Moderator, Participant, Lurker. • Group Moderators/Owners handle group maintenance chores.

  14. Lists will appear in your drop-down menu … just like Groups.

  15. Alphabetize Your Diigo Lists by Focus Areas • Ideally, it would be nice to have folders for each sub-topic area. But they don’t exist. • Lists are automatically alphabetized but if you do research in more than one area, your focus areas will all be mixed in together. Here’s a work-around that will do the trick…

  16. Rename Your lists. Use the Focus Area name, followed by / … to create a sub-folder.
