As a supplement to the scholarly articles, Diigo is an online research engine where students can search for texts that interest them about each unit's objective. These additional readings should spawn further debate or provide clarification of concepts that we cover in the unit. The following are steps to get you started using Diigo:
1. First, do a general web search for texts that focus on some of the concepts in the chapter. Choose the one that is most interesting to you. Post the article to Diigo with a short summary and evaluation. This text may be a video, cartoon, newspaper article, book, etc.
2. Now search Google Scholar (available through the drop down box in the Google Search Engine) or texts that focus on some of the concepts in the Chapter. Choose one that is most interesting to you. Post it to Diigo with a short summary and evaluation.
3. Finally, go the UCF library website and find a database that you think relates to the topics discussed in this unit. Chose an article that is most interesting to you (students who have had me before, you can NOT use CQ Researcher!). Post this article with a short summary and evaluation. Also write a brief comparison between the kinds of sources you found in a general web search, the kinds of sources you found with the Google Scholar search, and the kinds of sources you found using the library database.
