Hello again. Today, we will be discussing Diigo, blogs and Web 2.0. To start, what is Diigo? Diigo is an online educational tool used to annotate, share and discuss websites and readings. I have never heard of Diigo before this class. However, I did enjoy using and learning about Diigo. It was somewhat confusing learning how to navigate the different tools but, it was quick to learn and easy to use. I do like how Diigo can be an easy way to share your opinions and analyses of online sources. This could be an easy way to collaborate with coworkers and students, as a teacher. One thing I don't like about Diigo is having to add it to Chrome as a tool, every time we use it.
By far, one of the most enjoyable things about this class has been learning how to blog. I have always loved to write and am starting to rekindle this passion of mine. Learning how to create, navigate, design and edit my own blog in EME2040 has been very useful for inside and outside of my education. I do like the amount of creativity possible with blogging. I do not like sometimes how much time it takes to blog and the limitations of Blogger. I have learned to adapt my writing of each individual blog to the overall feel and format of my main blog page. This helps for everything to be coherent and appealing.
Lastly, what is Web 2.0? Web 2.0 refers to the second wave of technology that we are currently in. One Web 2.0 tool is YouTube. I have seen this used countless times in and outside of my education. YouTube is a tool that has a vast amount of information and possibilities for teachers to use in the classroom. As a teacher, I could specifically use it to explain something during a lecture in a more engaging way. One disadvantage of YouTube is that it can sometimes have inappropriate content. I have inserted a link to YouTube at the bottom of this page.
