Blog #8

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog! And Happy Halloween!! The web design is an assignment i will be turning in late. However, i did start it and learned a bit about how to create a website. I did like how easy the website was to navigate. i also enjoyed how it allowed for creativity. In my future i could use these skills to set up a website for my students to use. 

I learned a few new skills while using diigo. i learned how to highlight and annotate parts of webpages. and i was also able to create bookmarks. this would be an excellent tool for my future students. it can be helpful for studying or citing projects and research works.

Teachers in this day and age must not only be amazing instructors but also technologically saavy. the following website is one that includes the latest and trendiest teacher technology. while trends dont always last, they can be an exciting way to make your student more excited and engaged. personally, anything interactive would be the best for of instruction in my classroom. https://elearningindustry.com/top-educational-technology-trends-2020-2021

     Hi everyone, and welcome back to my blog. The teacher page i decided to look at is from my high school, Coral Reef Senior High School. i went to this school and the website my teacher would use was facebook! this was an excellent resource for students because it is social media which we often spend time looking at and it was an easy way to get information.

    I envision myself using technology when I become a teacher to inform my students. Not only would I include resources, but a full agenda to keep student up to date on assignments and what is coming up next in the curriculum. I would include helpful quizlets, khan academy, youtube videos, and a "ask me" hyperlink where students can ask any educational questions that they may have when completing homework. To keep track of my productivity i would use excel spreadsheet planners to keep me and my class on track.

    In my experience using Wiki, i have to say i did not find it enjoyable. I felt that the website was quite confusing and unappealing visually. this made it even more difficult to use. However, it was a good platform for the group project at hand. it was simple to organize and separate individual works. Students in the future could complete similar website review assignments using this platform.

    Hello all! This has been my first time ever using Diigo. Overall I found the website it be quite confusing at first. If it wasn't for the guidance on canvas, I would have had no idea how to navigate the website or the extension. once i got the hang of it, it did become a bit easier, however I do no find it to be user friends, visually pleasing, or more useful than another software.

    As far as my experience with blogging I have been having a hard time keeping up. While it is a simple assignment, it can be quite tedious as I have such a heavy work load this semester. I am taking 6 courses and currently studying for my nursing entrance exam. However I do find the blogs to be a great way to use our voices and connect with fellow classmates as well as our professor. I am a bit behind on posts but luckily I can use a token. 

    I have had maybe web 2.0 experiences throughout my schooling. My favorite 2.0 tool thus far has been YouTube. There are so many educational resources available on this website. Professionals in any field you could imagine have educational videos of all kinds. This is by far my favorite tool.
