      Before this class I had never heard of Diigo. Diigo is an amazing tool that helps to keep your websites you use and it allows to highlight and annotate articles that you are reading. Diigo has already been useful to me outside of this classroom. I used it for another one of my classes to annotate and highlight major points in the article I was reading. This website is something that is going to be extremely useful for me in the future. In the classroom this website will be useful for when I am giving lectures because it will allow me to take notes on what I am discussing and I can refer to those points during my lectures. 
     For each of level of blooms taxonomy they can all be used in PowerPoint form. Each level of Blooms Taxonomy can be explained by using PowerPoints. A power point will allow you to be knowledgeable about the information being presented, the audience is able to comprehend the information and you are using the design/application of PowerPoint to synthesize, analyze and evaluate the information that you are sharing.
       In the classroom technology is growing along with teacher professional development. Teachers are big reason as to why students are exposed to technology. They are exposed to different technologies such as interactive white boards and the use of different Microsoft applications. Teachers always need to be aware of current technology because they can expose that technology to their students. With professional development events such as workshops and conferences teachers will learn new technology to implement in their teachings.

As a student, Microsoft Word has become a prominent piece of technology throughout my years of school thus far. When doing any type of project that involves essays, brochures, news letters, resumes, cover letters, and more I would use Microsoft Word to get the job done. Without Microsoft Word school projects and assignments would be more time consuming and probably less appealing to the eye. I'd have to say that teachers use Microsoft Word twice as much as the students. They use it for notes, project requirements, news letters, test, pretty much anything that is handed out on a piece of paper is being done through MS Word. Copyright is something that I have struggled with over the course of the years. In classes such as theatre and student government you sometimes have to put songs on the background of videos but you can't do so because of copyright reasons. Websites, such as youtube, will deny you access to upload videos if they have copyright music. As a teacher I would use ...

      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...

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...
