Not Allowed to Install Toolbars? Diigolet is not as feature-rich as the Diigo
toolbar, but it can be set-up by simple drag-and-drop - no download or installation needed, and it works for all major browsers. Diigolet is a "super bookmarklet" that allows you to
highlight and add sticky-notes, in addition to simple bookmarking.

Apply for Educator Status
Sign into Diigo Visit the Diigo Education Page

will receive an e-mail once your Diigo account has been upgraded to Educator Status
What Does Education Status Mean? You can create student accounts for an entire
class with just a few clicks (and student email addresses are optional for account creation)
Students of the same class are automatically set up as a Diigo group so they can start using all the benefits that a Diigo group provides, such as group bookmarks and annotations, and group forums.
Privacy settings of student accounts are pre-set so that only teachers and classmates can communicate with them.
Ads presented to student account users are limited to education-related sponsors.
Security Settings – Under 13 Under 13 accounts – students are unable
to customize their profiles (no image uploads, etc.)
