Diigo is a great tool for educators or anyone, can use to organize information on the internet. The chrome extension makes saving and tagging online resources easier. This can be useful to connect with other educators while doing research for a team. You can highlight and annotate websites and can share that information with others.  This is an easy way to communicate your ideas with others.  Technology plays an important role in education.

I have been enjoying my time using twitter. I have learned a lot from the accounts that I follow including educational accounts and my fellow classmates. I have also enjoyed interacting with the @eme2040 account with their twitter challenges. Some of the benefits of twitter include collaborating with others and hearing from other people. This can provide people with different perspectives, suggestions, or praise on an idea/concept. I haven't had any issues with using twitter, however, I have had trouble remembering to go on it.  I loved working on the Web Design assignment. I really liked the Weebly program because it made creating our website really simple and easy. It was nice to be able to pick a template and then customize it any way I wanted. When it's time for me to have a classroom website for my own classroom, I will definitely make it more kid-friendly. Weebly is definitely the website I would use to create my own website, whether it be a personal blog site, a cla...

Each teacher's website has some of the same basic information. Each website includes information about the teacher, the class newsletter, and other resources. These resources include calendars, homework pages, announcements, etc. That information is public and can be accessed by going onto the school website. This information is useful because parents have access to the classroom without physically being there.  Here is an example of a first-grade class at FSUS:  https://www.fsus.school/Domain/310 I believe that technology will play a key role in my future classroom. After exploring all the resources in my class so far, I have learned so much about twitter, diigo, google classroom, and so much more! I would love to use twitter to connect with other educators and stay up to date on news. I also love the usefulness of diigo, google classroom, and other interactive student websites. I also plan on showing youtube videos to help my students in their learning....

Diigo is a great tool to help you keep track of bookmarks, annotate web pages, organize web information, and share the information with others. Diigo is very easy to use, especially with the chrome extension. I think it will be a great way to organize information for different class subjects. However, I think it may be a bit outdated due to other ways to save and organize information.  Blogging has been a great experience so far! I enjoy blogging for class assignments much more than posting a discussion board on canvas. Blogging is definitely something that I have looked into as a hobby and another platform to connect with people with similar interests. I love reading blogs written by teachers and learning more about their classroom life. Blogging can extend in so many directions and be a creative outlet for people. I can't wait to see where this blogging experience takes me in my future. Youtube and Podcasts are my favorite web tools these days. I love watching lifestyl...

My Twitter experience has been good. I am still having trouble remembering to go on the app. I have been interacting with @EME2040 as well as some of my other classmates. Twitter can be useful to interact with other educators to discuss a topic. This can be anything related to teaching styles, teaching ideas, or learning more information about a certain topic; the options are endless.  The digital divide is a term used to describe the gap between those who do and do not have access to technology. This access or lack of access can affect students' success in schools. Students that do have computer and internet access are home are believed to be at a greater advantage for academic success. Some causes of the digital divide may be due to poverty and economic barriers that may limit resources and access to these technologies. I think this will have an effect on my students if I assign an at-home assignment that they need access to a computer and/or the internet.  Academic ...
