EME2040 Blog Journal #6

My first experiences using Diigo have been very easy and intuitive. I like the forum-like setup the platform provides and furthering that sense of community. It is very simple to utilize by bookmarking and sharing sites with your thoughts. The annotating feature is also very straightforward and assimilates many alike features I've used in the past.

I have really enjoyed blogging for this course. It has allowed me to take a step back and reflect on my past skills and any new ones I have picked up on. I like the journaling nature it has to it and how it helps me keep a record of what I have learned and revisit and witness it too. It has also provided me with a valuable platform to share my insights and even see my peers' point of view.

A Web 2.0 tool that I would use during teaching is Google Drive. I appreciate the accessibility of it and its easy-to-follow nature. It would act as a one-stop shop for students to connect, collaborate, and access anything related to classes and lessons. Being able to access other tools within Google like, Google Docs and Google Slides, makes it a versatile resource for the learning experience in my classroom.

I have had a lot of experiences using MS Word as a student. I have mostly used it for writing essays for class, and it has worked great. A few years ago, I started using Google Docs due to its instant saving features and its accessibility from anywhere through my account. I also have found the templates very useful and have become familiar with its shortcuts. I do tend to gravitate toward Google Docs, but I really like editing and reviewing on MS Word. As a Head Editor for Her Campus, I have to use track changes and leave commentary on my edits which are very usable features on Word. An ISTE standard that stood out to me was For Students: Digital Citizen. This standard emphasizes the importance of being safe, cautious, and responsible online. As technology progresses our digital footprint becomes more extensive and detailed. It is important for students and the newer generations to understand this from the start and know how important and defining one's traces on the World Wide Web...

When I first joined Twitter, I really enjoyed the casual energy of it. In very few words, one could drop a thought and share it with hopes of it resonating with others. During my time on Twitter, I interact with news sources from world happenings to pop culture. I appreciate how it keeps me in the loop through notifications at my fingertips that might be relevant and maintains me informed. In my future career in the technology field, I feel like Twitter would help me access a lot of information with real conversations unfolding before my very eyes of innovations in the world. The digital divide is a very present issue with the rate at which technology has infiltrated our day-to-day lives. To those who have easy and immediate access to it, tend to assume that everyone around them does too which may not always be the case. This can translate within the educational environment. Students come from different backgrounds with different resources at their disposal–– including technology. ...
