Flexible Websites listed on Diigo

We are working to move our lists of websites (http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/hiat/websites/) to Diigo for easier searching and organizing.

The Flexible Language Arts Websites group has just been created

Flexible Language Arts Websites
We will use the following tags on ALL links in these groups, and then add other tags as appropriate for the subject area.  Here are the tags you can expect to see:

Tags for all Flexible Websites groups:

• whether the website is free: "free", "trial", "$$", "subscription_required"
• what grade level the website supports: "PK-2" "3-5" "MS" "HS"
• whether the website has a search function: "searchable"

For the Flexible Language Arts Websites group:

• if the website has something for kids to read: "digital_text"
• if the website has text to speech functions built in: "TTS" "speaks"
• designate what types of supports the website has for students: "video", "pictures", "background_information", "reference", study_guides",
• what types of supports the website has for teachers: "lesson_plans"
