Blog #5

My initial experience using Diigo was interesting. It seemed very similar to the tools on my technology devices that allow me to comment and draw on screenshots. I like that I can share my screenshots with groups and other individuals. I also like the tools that I can use to highlight and elaborate on points that I like. I do not like that sometimes I need to save certain files on my computer to write on it.

Blogging has been a nice experience. During the blogging process, I have realized that to be there needs to be a few standards to follow when it comes to what I write. Having random, unrelated, or unorganized posts can cause a lost in the attention of my readers. I also learned that when blogging, it is important to be aware of the audience so that no one is offended. I like being able to express myself through my blog posts.

An interesting Web 2.0 tool that I might use when teaching is called KidBlog. This tool provides an open space for kids to do blogs and discussions in the classroom. This tool is a great way for students to express themselves and collaborate with their peers. I also like that the students can receive feedback from their parents, teachers and their peers.
