For today’s class I want to try working with Diigo as a class activity, as a way of saying goodbye to the platform after your final Diigo curations yesterday.
To tie together the reading we had for today from Diaries of an Unfinished Revolution with some of the standard models for studying political-economies in the thrall of globalization, I want us to do some combined, collaborative annotation.
We’ll work in small groups of about four and the materials we’ll need are at least one digital device with Diigo running as an app or browser plug-in. You’ll also need Diaries of an Unfinished Revolution.
Open up this article from our CULF 3331 Diigo group. You should see a number of parts highlighted. You’ll have two annotating tasks for this article:
First, I want you to skim through the DUR chapter with your group and add notes to sections of the Al-Monitor article that correspond with historical events and topics that Jamal Jubran mentions in his diary entry.
Second, I want you to look at the highlighted passages and discuss in your groups which related controversies, trends or concepts of globalization you see reflected in those passages. Add notes to the Al-Monitor article in Diigo to explain what trends you see in your group’s analysis.
