Blog Post #7

So far, I have not had any trouble with using twitter. I think it is a really cool was to see what other students are up to and what people around the world are doing in terms of education. Having a class twitter makes me think about this class outside of the classroom. Some benefits of twitter or to allow students to interact with peers and other students around the world.

I have never created a web page before so everything with the web design project was now to me. I think it’s so cool to be able to create websites for free about anything.

These websites are completely customizable to it is easy to add anything and everything you want.

Diigo is a very cool concept. A skill I learned from using it is how to annotate an article online. Instead of having to print out what could be a 30-page article, you are able to highlight and add sticky notes right on the screen. I think this could be very useful in a classroom and students could save paper and time by not having to print out articles to be annotated on. It is also a good way for teachers to share websites or articles with their students. Diigo also includes a discussion board which can help facilitate classroom discussions outside of the classroom.
