17. My Work Flow
• Find a resource usually through social media and my PLN.
• Tag it and bookmark it to Diigo. (I’ve previously installed
bookmarklets or Chrome extensions that help with this).
Sometimes these links go into lists and/or groups.
• If the resource is excellent, I’ll share it on social media.
• My Twitter activity is pulled into Paper.li and this tool
publishes a daily set of resources.
• When I need a particular resource, I search my Diigo
collection.
