- Fill out the application, and submit. Please share as much info as possible to facilitate the approval process.

Step 3: Access Teacher Console
Your personalized Teacher Console, located at
http://www.diigo.com/teacher_entry/console, is where you create and
manage student accounts and class groups. Your teacher console can be conveniently accessed via the drop-down menu under your username, as illustrated below:
Step 4: Create A Class Group
The first step for using Diigo for a new class is to create a new Diigo group for the class. Click the "Create A Group for My Class" link to create a group for your class:
While setting up a class group is fairly similar to a regular group, here are a few differences: - Recommended Keywords-
grade and subject for the class should be entered as keywords for the
class. This can be done by simply. pointing-and-clicking the grades
and subjects.
- Group members as friends - You as the teacher has the option to
automatically make all students in the same class group as friends with
one another on Diigo so they can easily communicate with each other.
This is especially needed since student accounts have been pre-set to
only allow messages from friends only.
Step #6: Create Student Accounts and add to class group.
If your students don't have emails, use Option #1 to create student
accounts by simply entering their names or uploading an entire class
roaster at once:
Input your students’ names, and we’ll automatically create usernames
& passwords for them. You can also edit necessary change before
the student accounts are created:
Tip: Students' real name are optional. You can just use some codename like "Student 101" in the name fields.
Step #7 Manage Class groups / Student Accounts using Teacher Console To access, use the drop-down menu under your username and select "Teacher Console". Once there, use these options to manage your class groups / student accounts: - Group Name - click to view / manage the class group.

them out to your students. (note: only student accounts you created
will be printed.)
