5 Bloggin'

My initial experience using Diigo was nothing to rave about in my opinion. My first time using Diigo, I was able to bookmark important websites that I needed. Along with bookmarking the websites, Diigo allows me the opportunity to highlight things in the article, or website. With Diigo, I may annotate and write notes on the same page. What I do like about Diigo though, is that you may share your findings or bookmarking with the group of your choosing. The opportunity to share with a group on Diigo, allows one to connect to different resources that others have found.

 So far my experience blogging has been better than expected. I originally thought blogging was pointless and for sharing information with little importance. However, throughout my blog experience I have been able to share useful information about different technology applications and tools that can be useful in the classroom. My classmates have also been doing the same. All the students' blogs are linked on a class blog that was set up by our professor allowing us easy access to everyone's blog filled with new information and different resources. Being exposed to my classmates blogs and the blogs of other professionals, this blogging experience taught me that blogs can be used to further ones knowledge about a subject. I am glad that I first experienced with blogging with my EME class because it has opened my eye to how resourceful blogging can really be. Due to this experience I will definitely consider using blogging in my future career and outside of this course.

 A Web 2.0 tool that I might use when teaching is Facebook. Facebook is a social media site that makes it easy for individuals to connect and share online. Although Facebook is platform that individuals use for chatting on a social level, I would use Facebook for teaching by making a class page that students can connect with. I would make my class page a closed group, where students would be able to ask questions about homework assignments and be updated on things they might have missed in class.

ILP "Design" - Class Dogo

The link below gives an inside look into the resource, Class Dogo. Class Dogo is a website and app that allows teachers to share with their students, parents, and school leaders what they have going on in their classroom. Teachers can make posts, message parents, and assign work, all on class dogo. When I first heard about class dogo, through the grapevine, it sounded cool. However, it was not until I actually tried it for myself that I realized how useful, effective, and interactive, the app is, how much it does the same to make the classroom more interactive and communication with the parents more effective. In the link provided below, I show you how you can add your class and connect with your parents through messages and your story. I believe that class dogo is an awesome resource.  I recommend it to all teachers. https://voicethread.com/share/12190585/

ILP "Participation - Teacher Interview"

For this  voice thread , I decided to not go on lnyda.com or MOOC because instead of testing something out for myself, I wanted to see what the professionals were actually doing. For such reason, I decided to interview a 1st grade teacher on her use of technology in the classroom. I interviewed a first grade teacher because I currently work close with that grade level and may be interested in teaching elementary one day. I was surprised by many of my discoveries of the educational technology being used in elementary school, and how it is fairly similar to some of the technology used in college. Take a look! https://voicethread.com/share/12396638/

Diigo so far has been a great tool and resource to use to share links and web resources. Diigo has been also a great tool to use when to look up other resources. With Diigo you can look for references using several different tags, separating them using quotations. Once you have found a resource that has been started that is relevant to you, you can see what others have posted or commented that stood out about the site. All of these points that I have covered is the reason that Diigo would be and effective and efficient for team members, classmates in a group. Diigo allows for users to create groups. In these groups, resources are only shared amongst group members. Powerpoint is a very useful tool and can be used to support learning at each level of Bloom's Taxonomy. To implement the first level, remembering, I would show my 2nd grade math class, a link to a video that would help them remember their multiplication facts. For the second level, understand, I would upload an image of...
