While using Diigo I had some learning experiences, to better understand how to use the site. Since I had not used the program before this class, I was pretty clueless about the features of the site. Something I found confusing is that you must switch to a group sticky note before typing because they’re completely separate from the group sticky notes. I enjoy that all my highlights were shown on the site to show other users why I was picking that article.
I have always enjoyed blogging; I use to blog for my parent’s business, and I even made my own little blog when I was little. I was never good at keeping up with it thought, but that’s something I enjoy about this class. I like how blogging forces me to reflect on what I learned and how I can use this information in the future. It’s a nice way to reflect on the items of the week and understand why these new tools and features are important to learn.
A Web 2.0 tool that I may use as a teacher in IXL. IXL is a website that gives lessons on ELA, math, history, and science topics. Students and teachers create accounts so that they can track progress and see assign lessons to students. This gives a fun way for students to interact with the lessons and allows teachers to track progress and see who is still struggling with topics. Something I really enjoy about IXL is their plethora of games and how they cite what lessons they engage with and how they assist students. It gives teachers tons of fun options to teach their students. Something teachers should keep in mind is that the site is a little busy, and isn't accessible to all students. Some may get distracted by the topics, so you must ensure students always stay on task. You can view IXL here.
