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/

It provides you information on global issues, pictures, videos, stats, and ways to get involved.  The powerpoint assignment was very interesting. In my opinion the non-interactive powerpoint was harder than the interactive powerpoi...

In todays society technology is being used widely throughout the classrooms. The reason that technology has become such a wide spread use in the classroom is because technology is growing rapidly. Teachers and students are both using the technology in the classroom because it is a skill that is going to be necessary in the future because technology is only going to grow from here on out. The ISTE standards for educators are very accurate in its goal towards helping students become empowered leaders. One standard that stands out to me is leader. A big part of being a teacher is being able to hold the role as a leader and being able to demonstrate it positively. Like the standards suggest, educators should be able to meet the diverse needs of all students, which is a huge role that a leader should demonstrate. One standard that I do not think that I have acquired skill for yet is learner. The standard learner requires educators to set goals, stay current with new research, and to be in...
