Blog Journal #6

  •  I just started using Diigo for technology class and it was pretty easy to find all the steps to add a bookmark. I don't really like the set up of the website cause it looks kind of older and not visually pleasing. There is a lot of words and sentences everywhere and it's a lot of information. I would probably not use this website if I didn't have to. Diigo reminds me of twitter with how the set up is and how it has a blue background. Even though I have never used this website it was easy to find everything and annotate my articles. 
  • My experience with blogging is that I like the set up and everything is easy to find. I like how I can create bullet points so I can put down all my information. I also like how I can view my friends blog post and can comment on them. I think the website is visually pleasing because you can add photos and have banners on the side. I don't like how sometimes when I am using a certain font, when I post the blog post it changes the font size and color. What I have learned so far in the blogging process is that I can insert links into words and I never knew I can do that. This process is super easy and really informative!
  • An interesting Web 2.0 tool I will be using in teaching is Pinterest. The main advantage of Pinterest is that teachers can "pin" other Web 2.0 sites to their Pin Boards, such as blogs, twitter, articles, or any other resource sharing tools! Pinterest makes it easy to swap pins and ideas with educators across the globe and to help keep lessons fresh and exciting. To do this, as well as connecting with existing contacts, I can search for educational content and boards, and follow those educators that inspire me and will be a good asset to my classroom.

 My experiences with EME2040 is that it's amazing and includes super fun activities! What experiences I liked in the classroom is all the fun assignments we do and how we could be creative while also following a rubric. I liked assignments like the web design, newsletter design, and to create a lesson plans. I disliked some of the tools we used like Diigo because it was hard to figure out all the tools and I had to use the YouTube videos given to me to figure the assignment out. When I am a teacher, I will use tools like Weebly to create calendars, announcements, resources, etc.  to help improve the classroom experience. This will improve my classroom experience because my students will be aware of all the activities going on in the class and be up to date with everything.  Open educational resources is someone teaching, learning, and research materials that were purposely created  to be free for the user to own, share, and modify.  The open educational res...

     I just started using Microsoft Word during Summer B of this year. During high school, I liked using Google Docs because I could share it with the people in my group and we could work on it together. Since using Microsoft Word I really like it and I think it is easy to use. They're definitely some features I am not familiar with yet, but I am still getting used to it. I have to say I like using Microsoft Word now just because it is easy, everyone at the university uses it, and there are a lot of cool features.     The Leader Educator Standard is most meaningful for me because I think it is very important for e ducators to seek out opportunities for leadership to support student empowerment and success and to improve teaching and learning. It is important for educators to do this because it helps students  shape and advance a vision for  empowered  learning with technology. This also important because it helps students adopt new resource...
