The majority of my bookmarks are now bookmarked online. The best link to use in order to find the most relevant links is the Diigo link. I have collected all the bookmarks I have found in one place. The best way to find a link is to click the View All Tags link on the right side of the Diigo page. Then simply click on the tag that most closely matches the topic you are looking for. These links are being provided because they could be of value to you in your planning and/or instruction. PLEASE review the sites before pointing students to them directly. While I would never intentionally link to a site with inappropriate content, websites change frequently, and I cannot guarantee that the website I provide today will look the same tomorrow.
