 My first impression of Diigo is that it is somewhat confusing to use. I was confused by the concept of what bookmarking something on it was. I like the idea of the site, but I think once I am more familiar with it, I will like it more. What I don’t like about Diigo too much is how unorganized the site appears.  

I have grown to like doing blog posts each week. I like being able to see my classmate's responses on the same prompts. I find it interesting to see how different people interpret things differently and reviewing classmate’s blogs shows a lot of that. I have learned that a lot of students use similar ways of studying as I do, through blogging in this class.  


A Web 2.0 tool that I might use in my future teaching is YouTube. We have not done any assignments on this tool, but it is a commonly known tool. I think that it would be a useful tool to use in teaching because it would allow me to record and upload videos of myself teaching, for students to then go home and rewatch if they needed to be taught again or were absent. I have had teachers in the past do this and I found it to be beneficial to my learning experience in the class.

    Yes, I agree with you that Diigo is hard to use, even after I watch the tutorial videos. The site is quite hard to navigate from one place to another, too. Oh and I also chose Youtube as a Web 2.0 tool for my future class. This platforms provide teachers and students with useful information in form of videos.

    I think we can all agree that Diigo needs a bit of in update. Its features could be useful too, it is just kind of frustrating.
    I also like doing blog posts and seeing my classmates responses. I like reading the comments that classmates leave on my posts, but I love attention so that is no surprise.
    How did I not think of YouTube myself?! It is such an obvious answer! Our educators use it all the time, and it is a wonderful tool!

      I have used Microsoft Word in my schooling for as long as I can remember. My freshmen year of  high school I actually received a certification in it, as well as some other Office 365 programs. I like Microsoft Word because it is easy to use and has always worked for me. I have used Google Docs before but I much prefer Microsoft Word. I don't quite have a reason for liking it more other than familiarity since I have been using it for so long.      The ISTE standard that is most meaningful to me is " Model and nurture creativity and creative expression to communicate ideas, knowledge or connections.". This standard to me means to allow for and encourage creativity in students in all aspects of their learning. I see this standard as important because  I  feel that in K-12 learning it is important for the student to be allowed creativity because even though they are all being taught the same thing they should learn individual...

     I got a Twitter account around 2018 . At the time I mostly used it to keep up with celebrities and friends. I have also found that Twitter is a good place to hear about current events, though they should always be fact checked with a more reliable source.  Twitter might be helpful in my future career because  it  would allow me to connect with and share ideas  with other teachers. This would be good to keep my teaching fresh and fun.         I believe that the digital divide can  affect  a student's success in school. Those who  do not have access to the technology and internet as other students do can be put at a  disadvantage .  Some causes of the digital divide may include economic status,  geographic location, or lack of motivation to learn how to use technology. I might use programs like Kahoot in my classroom  and the digital divide might affect how often I use online programs becau...

    My name is Hannah Perake s. I am a  freshman  at Florida State  University, and I am majoring in Elementary Education. In the future I would like to be an elementary school teacher.   For a long time, I wanted to be a psychologist but in the last few years I realized that I wanted to be a teacher.      My whole schooling experience I have used technology. In elementary school I remember the teachers using Smart Boards and they had laptop carts that we would  occasionally  use.  In middle school we did most of our tests and work on laptops. In high school I used a lot of different kinds of technology, especially when quarantine started.  We went fully online and used programs such as Google Classroom and Zoom.       I regularly use multiple resources to support my learning needs and goals.  Something I use to memorize things for classes is Quizlet. I use the calendar app on my phone as...
