Blog Journal- 5

Using Diigo was really interesting and a very neat concept. After answering the EME twitter challenge impression I noticed most students found Diigo very confusing. For me, Diigo was self-explanatory and a very cool and easy concept to grasp. I really enjoyed Diigo and especially enjoyed how you can share information with the whole class so easily as well as comment on student's posts and even highlight within the site you post. This is a great source to keep the class connected and have the class interact within one common workspace. So far, I have no dislikes on Diigo.

Blogging has been a new experience for me and I have actually really enjoyed it. Since being in this class, blogs are a great way to publish answers to discussions and be able to comment on other student's posts. I feel it brings the class together as a whole while adding a bit of uniqueness to each person's blog. I have learned how to make my blog aesthetically pleasing and how to add a copyright mark to what I am publishing.

For an interesting Web 2.0 tool, I have chosen Dropbox. Dropbox supports learning beyond the product itself. It allows students to build, utilize, and be accountable for their work. This is an application that comes from the Icloud idea. This will store all of the documents and data needed and can be accessed on any form of phone or computer. Not only could this tool be useful in my classroom, but in other classrooms and outside of school as well. I as a teacher will use Dropbox to build assignments and create lesson plans. All of this can be accessed at home or on the go! This would prevent me from having to carry around tons of papers and heavyweight from computers.
