BLOG 5

Before this class I had never even heard of Diigo. When first using the website I was a little confused on what its purpose was but after using it during class I learned that this source is very reliable and useful. Being in college requires you to write a lot of research papers and Diigo would be very beneficial when writing research papers because it allows you to store your sources and annotate them. I like how its very accessible but it is annoying that you can only really use it on Google Chrome.
Blogging thus far has been a good experience. In the past I had never blogged so it is nice to be able to try something new.  I like how I am able to talk in a more relaxed way because it is not strenuous at all. Blogging has made doing homework actually enjoyable.
When teaching a web 2.0 tool that I would implement would be Kahoot! Kahoot! is an awesome way to for students to learn.  When using Kahoot! you are able to input your own information and make it into an interactive game that your class can use. Its a really good way to review before a test and it creates a fun little competition. https://kahoot.com/

ILP #2 Participation

For my second Independent Learning Project I decided to interview a teacher from my high school. I asked 3 questions in regards to technology in the classrooms. The three questions I asked were  Review your past years at work. Which technologies did you use and how did you use them? How have you used or how will you use new technology in your classrooms?   Do you believe that technology has an impact on how much students focus in class?   Here is the link to my voice thread which is a powerpoint explaining parks answers to my questions! https://voicethread.com/share/13251171/

      Using Twitter has been an interesting experience. Prior to this class I would only use twitter for the social aspects. Using it for a class allows you to actually gain some sort of knowledge. The benefits of using twitter as a part of this class are that you can learn new things that developing within the education realm. I get updates from the United States education department almost daily and it is interesting to read the facts that they post.         After completing the Web Design assignment I realized how easy it was to make a website. I have worked with Wix Portfolio before but I didn't remember how to use it. I liked how they have templates already designed for you, it makes the process a lot easier if you're not creative. The only issue I had was when trying to put boxes around text it would not let me edit the text after so I had to copy the text, delete it and create a new text box, which was frustrating. Th...
