BLOG 8

      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.

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/

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.
