If you don't mind getting science bookmarks, please let me know. I don't want to send someone a bookmark that might be boring, scary or just downright gross....as last night when I bookmarked an important online text about human parasites called the WormBook.

If you don't mind sorting through it all and/or are interested in Science, let me add you to my "Science In All Its Forms" contact list. I appreciate all your help and bookmarks, and I don't want to send stuff you can't use or don't want;D

Thanks! You can add me. I work in a primary school but also in a University, so all kind of links can be useful at any time.
You can also search in my tags: biología, química, ecología, animales, astronomía, NASA, and some others...

I have added you to my "Science in All Its Forms" contact list, and I will check out the other tags you have given me. Good idea! I still forget that people from all over the world are working here, and they probably use their own language. duh, heehee! Need to open my awareness more!

Thanks for asking...I don't need anything science. I teach language arts and, next year, will be teaching social studies. Can't wait!!!

Thank you!

OK! That's cool! I bet you will enjoy teaching social studies;D That is why I wanted to make a contact list, so everyone would not have a cluster of unnecessary bookmarks;D

Sounds great, send them along. I don't always look at everything that comes my way, but I appreciate having new bookmarks to potential add to my resources. Thanks for asking.

Sheryl,

Using this DMS system to initiate / confirm people who may have a common interest in a subject is a good idea.

Once you solidify the interest, then perhaps a good time to form a group (public open to all, or moderated public (need your approval), or invitation-only), so all group members can help to contribute good resources and build up the collection systemically! If the group resource is good, let us know - we'd love to feature it.

I think you can view contact list as ad-hoc "group" that is useful for sharing & engaging others in some specific info. But, one should be sensitive not to overdo this and create an "information overload" for others. For a systematic depository of info, group is the way to go! Not only you can gather bookmarks there, there is also a great group forum that allow people to discuss various topics of interest within the group.

For anyone who wish not to participate in a particular conversation, simply click "Leave this conversation". For those who prefer to not get distracted by the message alert (#) on the toolbar, they can also easily disable by going to "diigo >> options >> un-check the message button. there are also options in your profile setting on how to set your email notification / group notification preference... (As I write more, I think I should write a blog post about various ways of sharing in Diigo :-)

If you or anyone have exceeded their 5 public group limit and need more (anti-spam measure), just let us know. We will be happy to assist / increase your group count.

Cannot wait to see some great collections of resources that may be helpful for other educators take shape here :-) Thanks for everyone's active contribution

I don't think I'll be needing any science tags. Thank you though. :)

yes please, I teach science to year 7 (age 12) pupils with moderate learning difficulties, next year year 8s as well.

Mindelei: Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it;D

I am closing this message thread, as it is a duplicate;D Thanks for all your input, if there is more you would like to tell me, the other message about my adventure in starting a "Science in All Its Forms" contact list is still open;D TYVM!

For me, I really enjoy all of your bookmarks. you are always offering something special.

Thanks! I will put you on my contact list for "Science in All Its Forms, so you won't miss out;D I appreciate the comment!

Some of you may teach both science and math like I do. I thought you might find this resource to be useful. It is the result of a recent presentation at NECC in San Antonio.

HI Sheryl

I only teach maths so I'll decline your offer. However, I will bear it in mind when in touch with colleagues who teach science.
