the usage of 地(**de**):
a most of the situations, this character has no meaning, because it's usually a flag. a flag of expressing the characteristic of phrases following it.
and last, the phrases often are verb.
他轻轻地走。/he walks silently.
the usage of 地(**di**):
it often has a specific meaning.
地板/floor
大地/earth
我睡在地板上。/I sleep on the floor.
Summary:
if you don't know how to choose the pronunciation, in most of the situations, you can pay attention to the phrases following it —— a verb or not.

地(de)has the same meaning with 的, used as a conjunction. You can take 地(de)as another form of 的, which when this 的 is followed by verbs, then it transforms into 地(de). For example:
我开心地走。 I walk happily.
this 地(de)is a conjunction that connect the adjective and verb.
地(di)is the expression of ground or floor. very simple.
for example:
我坐在地上。 I sit on the floor/ground.
if you think you understand, check this sentence:
爸爸用力地拖地。
in the two 地 in the sentence, one of them is (de), another is (di), can you distinguish them?
If you want me to talk about the difference of 的, 地, and 得 (all as conjunction), you could also ask for it.
