This was my first time using Diigo. I think this site can be very useful for group work or just for sharing information with peers. I liked how easy it is to navigate and to see the information other people share if you are in a group together. I also liked how it can be attached to chrome which makes it easy to bookmark articles or sites. It also was nice to have tools like highlighting and taking notes very handy to you.
This was also the first time I had done blogging for a class but it is very similar to discussion posts which I have done in other classes. I think blogging is a good way to get your thoughts out and an easy way to see other people's thoughts. I think for opinionated writing it is a better tool than a teacher just assigning a writing assignment to do through word. I feel like in a way blogging is much less formal and more personal to one's thoughts. From blogging so far I think I mainly learned more about expressing my own opinions even though its usually on small topics like blogging but these are the kinds of thinks that get you to have to think about certain things.
An interesting Web 2.0 tool I think I would use in a classroom is Glogster. This is a new application to me but from what I have read looks very interesting and can be very useful within the classroom. The website is used to create presentations and to use for interactive learning. This can be a fun new way for students to create presentations or even teachers to use to present a lecture instead of using the normal powerpoint.

    I like Glogster but it is not technically Web 2.0 technology. It is a classroom management tool. Web 2.0 emphasizes on user generated content.

My name is Nicole. I am a sophomore here at Florida State University majoring in Business Management with a minor in Education. I am from Miami, FL. I enjoy watching and playing sports. My prior experience using educational technology is mostly with a lot of Microsoft applications such as word, excel, and power point. I would say i am very proficient with all three of these applications. I have also been using canvas here at the university with all of my classes. I have also used some game sites for class such as second life which has an interactive world with lessons based on whatever subject. In this class I hope to learn about the different educational technologies that teachers have and can use.I believe I am familiar with only a few that are to there and hope to learn about more. I feel as if these resources can be very helpful to the teachers and students within a classroom.

ILP 1 Participation: Educational Technology for Student Success

The activity I did for this project was an activity on Lynda.com. This activity was all about educational technology and how teachers can use them on a daily basis in their own classroom. It was very easy to use Lynda.com and navigate through the activity. It was interesting to see all the different educational technology examples that were named throughout the activity because there were a couple that I did not know about. In my voice thread I included some of the key points I got out of the activity as well as proof of completion with a document of my notes I took during the activity.

Word is a very common application used as a student now in time. I have used word for quite some time with writing assignments or something else. For the most part I think I have used word for almost every single class since high school. Word is very easy and helpful when trying to format a document or type something up. I feel as if teachers also use word as much as students do. Now in college teacher post many documents such as notes and study guides. From what I can remember I think we learned about copyright and plagiarism when we were younger and how it is bad. I think now that technology and the world wide web is so easy to access it is important for students to know what they can and can do with the information they find from websites. As a teacher I think its important that at a certain age, especially if the students need to access sources from the web, that the students know what copyright is and how to properly cite information they use from its original source. The best w...
