Before I took this course, I’d never heard of Diigo. After installing it and testing it out, I felt it was a convenient and simple way to bookmark, share, and annotate sources. I like that the software allows students to share links with each other; it’s a great tool for classes and group projects. Another thing I really enjoyed was you can highlight text and add notes to the source you decide to bookmark. That makes it easier for students to pin-point the important information on that website,and if the link is shared, those people can see the highlighted portions as well. The only thing I didn’t like was that the software had to be downloaded. I almost wish those features were already built into browser, but other than that, no complaints!
Honestly, there’s nothing I dislike about blogging. I love writing and reflecting on my thoughts, making these the ideal assignment. I like that the posts don’t have to be extensive, they just need to answer the questions provided. I also appreciate how they’re tailored to what we discuss in class. It helps me decide on what I should write about and why!
When I searched around the internet for interesting Web 2.0 tools, I found one that seemed intriguing. The website was called Padlet; it’s designed specifically to be used to create different boards/document that people can add to. Rule number one: create an account. Once that’s done, start by selecting a template (or create your own)! Next, you can invite people to edit or comment on the board. Then, start posting stuff! Anything from websites, pictures, music or videos that are relevant to your board. Lastly, you share the board you’ve created with anyone you’d like! It’s almost like a prettier version of Google Docs. I can definitely see my future students using this website to create study boards or book reports! It’s easy to use, and of course, it’s free!
