 Hi Blog,

    I kind of enjoy Diigo. It is somewhat challenging to navigate, but other than that there are many practical things that are provided through Diigo. It is helpful in storing information as well as, finding other resources like images. 

    I have really enjoyed blogging. It is a beneficial way to relay information and it is very stress relieving. Being able to write out what you are thinking and having it formatted so simply is helpful in being able to navigate through important information. I really enjoy how BlogSpot puts the information in order by date and also how well it puts together embedded materials. There is not really anything that is bothersome when it comes to using this platform. And as an educator it is an easy and sufficient way of relaying due dates and important information. Before taking this class, I dabbled a little bit in blogging during Middle School just for fun shares and such. But I am so glad that this is heavily encouraged for success.

    An interesting Web 2.0 tool that I enjoy using is Google Docs. By using this a group is able to collaborate with one another by editing content and sharing ideas. This is an interactive Microsoft Word, if you think about it. There are so many things that can be done through Google Docs when doing group work and it is also up to be edited by anyone who reviews it, which is very beneficial when it comes to challenging tasks. After coming to college, I have definitely become a fan of Google Docs because there are not as many features and there are ways that one can change background color, font, and font size all in one place. Below I have provided a link to one of my favorite Web 2.0 Tools :)

 Hey Blog,      This week I looked at a few different teacher's profiles on a school's website. I first looked at a Physics teacher's page and it included very helpful information for his students such as a teacher introduction, course calendar for each quarter, and different student resources if they are struggling. The second teacher that I looked at was an Art History and World History teacher. I found her site very helpful because it contained a syllabus, course calendar, graduation requirements, a class website, email, and many other helpful resources for both courses. At the end of the blogpost, I will share images and links to both of these.     There are many ways to be a highly productive teacher and one of the tools that I hope to use is online games and activities. These will definitely be beneficial in increasing student engagement and encouraging students to have fun learning each topic. My goal is to teach K-1 or Middle School English. This tool will be highly

 Hey blog,      Today I want to shed light on distance learning. For me, although it is quite easier, I find it harder to understand all the material. Especially with the way that assignments have exact dates and times when they are due it is super easy to procrastinate. I dislike the lack of connection between students in the class as well as trying to navigate assignments. But it is helpful to have a distanced learning course in order to find time for studying and having a schedule already set for specific assignments. As an educator, I think it is important to be able to navigate distance learning by holding Zoom courses, in order to create an honest connection even over a camera. It can also be beneficial to encourage outside activities that relate to class work, in order for students to feel as though they can learn in other ways.     Open Educational Resources are accessible to everyone who wishes to use them. These are highly beneficial for educators because it provides them wit
