Blog #5

     Diigo for me is kind of confusing with all the sensory overload and tons of articles to shift through. I have not fully mastered how to navigate through the program/site. I find it interesting to look at all the different groups one can join and interact with. I think it is a valuable site, but overwhelming in certain aspects.
     Blogging has actually been a fun experience. I am still not sure I like the idea of having everyone being able to inspect and go over my notes and work, but the constant writing has been fun and uplifting. Sharing my opinions over the internet has never been an engaging activity for me, but doing it in a controlled environment like a class has been enlightening. I do not think that I will create my own blog, but I would be interested in looking over and reading others now that I have more information about what blogging is.
     A WEB 2.0 tool that I think would be very beneficial when teaching would be the surveying tool. I think that being able to use this tool effectively would benefit both the students and the teacher with finding out crucial information about the student population. Surveys could be used for a wide variety of topics that would shed light on certain curriculum issues. It could improve the overall education of the student population and the dialogue between student and teacher.

    Diigo is definitely not the most user-friendly tool in the world. However, it is a very powerful platform for collaborative knowledge sharing. Next time, we can explore it in class together, and maybe it will be a bit easier for you.

I understand the full impact that surveys and data collection systems can have on certain markets, performances, and people. Surveys are actually a huge part of my life. I work at a polling firm in town. I firmly believe that the incorporation of surveys in the education system would benefit the students and the staff. We already kind of do it with forums like rate my teacher, and the surveys after classes.      I found that there was a wide range of thought and ideas on the classes blogs. Many people had differing opinions on some of the topics in the class curriculum. As expected many of the class wrote as if they were going to become teachers, or in the process of. There was some agreement on some topics, and many classmates are well spoken.      I would like to learn more about building websites; a step further than what we were allowed to get into class. I would like to learn it on a platform rather than on a online resource process like Wix. However...

      Diigo and its social bookmarking properties have allowed for the dissemination information and commendation of a vast amount of people on topics that can aid me in my education career. I think it would be a beneficial aid in any type of situation, whether the person was working solo, with a partner, or a group. the information and critiques on the website are of immense value.      To aid in the progression of a persons, a students, edification evolution a master power point could be used on certain subjects: both education and life skills. An instructor could use a broad range of slide to introduce, and immerse a audience. A more refined set for informing and question provoking. Finally a finely honed and articulate set of slides to reinforce the material and allow for the students to form opinions of their own on an informed subject.      It has become the truth when teachers are closer to computer techs than they were thirty years ...
