Blog Journal 5

Diigo is such an amazing tool for the classroom. It helps each person create their own personal online knowledge library. What I liked about Diigo when I used it was how I could keep my educational tools and recourses organized. To me, organization is a crucial aspect to education. You are more likely to teach/ learn better when your resources and information are well-composed and together. There is nothing I didn’t like about Diigo! Keeping a blog for this class has helped me keep track of what I’ve learned so far. My blog is my personal collection of all of the different skills and exercises I have accomplished so far in this class. As the semester gets busy, it’s not always easy to think back to previous lessons we have learned in our courses. Keeping a blog is beneficial because it allows me to go back and reflect upon what I have already learned. I have learned that I like blogging, and I would like to start a lifestyle blog of my own! A Web 2.0 tool I would love to use in my classroom someday is Glogster. Glogster is an online program that allows students to create online web pages and posters. They can use pictures, video, audio, text, and much more to design their own “glog”. I love the concept of this program because not only does it allow students to be creative, but it helps improve their technology skills in the classroom. Students can share their “glogs” with each other and give each other feedback, which allows students to encourage their peers in their learning. https://edu.glogster.com/
