Using Diigo was definitely an interesting experience for me in the beginning. The site is pretty easy to navigate. I like being able to engage in discussions with my peers and see how everyone feels about certain topics. I feel like it is a very useful tool and could be used for students to discuss readings required outside of class. The only thing I don't like about Diigo is how bland it looks. The site is just not appealing to me and I believe it wouldn't be useful for students younger than middle school age.
So far, I have enjoyed blogging about my experiences with technology. I feel it is a way to keep track of everything I have learned and I like being able to look back on the milestones. I have learned a little bit about blogging from doing it for class. I have learned how to edit my blog to make it appealing to any viewers it might have. I have also learned to use blogging as a tool for myself as well as others. I can use my blog for my own benefit but others can also look at what I've posted and learn from my experiences.
A Web 2.0 tool that I know about and have used is Google Classroom. I used this during high school to keep in touch with teachers and classmates about certain assignments. I really like Google Classroom because it allows conversation between students and also keeps all assignments in one place. I believe that I will try to implement this tool in the future, especially if I am teaching elementary school. This could allow parents to keep track of what their child is learning in class and give them an easy way to contact me with concerns.
