Recently acquired the knowledge of social bookmarking tool through the module: bringing technological innovation in the classroom. Diigo is surely one of the social bookmarking tools. It acts as a cloud; stores bookmarks and arranges them in proper order with the use of tags.

Diigo gives access to pdfs format file. It facilitates the reader's task by providing options such as highlighting the captivating parts and also adding notes.
