Daily Email Notifications
Teachers Upgrade• 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.
• Teachers can create groups and add multiple classes into one large group- can set up private groups that require the group’s leader to approve your acceptance.
