Abstract
There are a multitude of high-quality Web-based resources available for teachers to use with students across the curriculum. Having a systematic way to store, categorize, and share those resources with learners is critical. This is particularly true for students with learning disabilities for whom the task of searching through the vast array of online content to find relevant information can be quite daunting. This review looks at Diigo® (http://www.diigo.com/), a social bookmarking tool, and the affordances it provides for teachers trying to make online content more accessible for students with disabilities.
