Blog Journal 5

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 However, I think it may be a bit outdated due to other ways to save and organize information.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 lifestyle videos as well as watching videos about "the day in the life" of teachers. I find lots of useful information that I would love to incorporate into my own life. There are also great educational videos about anything and everything that are suitable for all age groups. I will definitely be showing youtube videos in my future classroom. Podcasts are another one of my favorite tools. There are podcasts on every topic from stories to conversations to news. It focuses on audio rather than combining visual and audio elements. This tool may be more useful to the teacher than students.
