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/

I plan on using certain resources such as Excel, Powerpoint, and Microsoft Word in my professional future. These resources are diverse and can be used for multiple things in the work force. They allow you to utilize organizational skills in a simple, non-complex way. After going to the te...

The flipped classroom approach is when you give the students the material online before the class. This means that the students are able to learn the material before class. Then, class time can be used for discussion and deeper clarification on the subject at hand. This approach allows the students to gain a better understanding of the information. An open educational resources are basically an online learning resource that are very accessible. These resources allow teachers to adapt these resources and use them with in their classroom free of charge, it helps broaden their material. The educational resource I am discussing can be found on through this link:    https://www.oercommons.org/courses/100-people-a-world-portrait/view . 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...
