Creating the website was an enjoyable experience. It was good practice for creating future class sites, and allowed me to better understand what information will be expected to be given. The creative freedom to design the website as we please made the assignment more interesting and allowed for personal touches. I did however, forget to modify one of the images before I turned in the assignment, but I have made that change now. 

Diego is incredibly useful in the classroom for a multitude of reasons. It allows for collaboration between students and teachers, and is a great tool for annotating documents. This website can be a useful tool outside of the classroom as well and in other professions. Being able to collaboratively annotate documents can be helpful for many job fields. 

School is where many students, like myself,  are first introduced to advanced technologies such as desktop computers and smart boards. It is essential for teachers to know how to use these kinds of technologies so that they can accurately instruct their students. Below I have linked a news website that focuses on new developments in educational technology. Resources like this can be extremely beneficial is staying up to date on technological developments in education.

Diigo is an interesting application and unlike any one that I have used in my previous academic experience. I like the ability to share PDFs and websites with our class as a group. It is also really helpful when having to do readings for class online. Its annotation features for web based articles and other readings is incredibly useful.  Using blogger this semester has been really beneficial for me. It has allowed me to not only utilize me knowledge, but attach it to real world scenarios. It will be a useful tool in later courses or teaching experiences as it provides me with resources that we have engaged with throughout this course. I would like to continue recapping and applying my knowledge after this blog has served its academic purpose.  A Web 2.0 resource that I take advantage of frequently outside of those we have discussed in class would be Google Docs and other Google applications. I use Google Docs as a staging area of sorts for most of my discussion board posts fo...

 I chose to cover the K-2 benchmarks. One that stood out to me was the first standard which was communication and collaboration and modeling and simulations. Essentially, for the communication and collaboration standard the student needs to be able to differentiate  between multiple digital tools that can be used for communication or collaboration,  perform searches of basic keywords and communicate information with others, collaborate with others to solve problems using technology, and give and receive constructive criticism on a collaborated project. For the modeling and simulations standard the student needs to be able to define simulation and understand the concepts presented by a simple simulation, explain how models and simulations are used solve real issues regarding science and engineering, explain how models can represent real systems, and use models to come up with solutions to questions alone and with others. Based on my current skill set, I believe that I coul...
