Diigo.com
Diigo.com is a social annotation tool that allows groups to access and annotate selected web pages. You can make the texts you want to use available as webpages, and then ask the students to share them with their partners/groups.They can annotate the text as well as respond to each other's annotations. Or, they can select an article of interest to their research themselves, and annotate it alone or with others. Finally, Diigo can be used to simply collect research and information.
