  • A paragraph on the new skills you learned from working with Diigo.  How can this application be useful in your classroom, with team members, and in your individual professional efforts?
  • A paragraph about how you might use PowerPoint to support student learning at each level of Bloom’s Taxonomy (Google it if you need help!) in a particular lesson. Be explicit.
  • A paragraph about technology and teacher professional development.  Teachers are tasked with being the driving force of technology innovation in education -- which is directly related to professional development, how we stay aware of changes.  Post a screen shot, link, and description of one site you could use to stay informed of technology trends


Some new skils that I learned from working with the Diigo application is annotating text and being able to see comments from my peers. I enjoyed using this specific tool because I can compare different parts of the text and how my peers interpreted it. I would use this in my classroom in the future when reading long text, in order to highlight important details and make comments for my students. This can be a good study tool if you are required to do Chapter readings.

 I can use Powerpoint to support students at each level of Blooms Taxonomy by making my lessons fun and interactive in a way that the student will learn and enjoy it. I will also be using Powerpoint in my classroom when asking students to complete assignments or as a format for projects. Powerpoint is a great resource to result to when completing a presentation to a class, it is not difficult to use and their are many pre-set designs to choose from, which ties into the Create stage of Blooms Taxonomy. They will be able to Apply what they've learned in these lessons to situations in real life.

 One website that I can use to stay on top of technology trends is https://elearningindustry.com/educational-technology-trends-top-right-now,
which posts updates on new eLearning technological trends. I believe that it is important that teachers stay informed and knowledgable about the technology they are being asked to use in the classroom. As the world progresses, so does technology, and we must prepare our students to enter the workforce with the correct tools to achieve in any field. We can do this by providing teachers with training sessions to learn how to use the tech.

I really enjoyed my experiences with Diigo, it was very useful when annotated and creating notes. I liked that we were able to share with our classmates what we were annotated. It allowed them to go back into the article and see which exact section we were annotating. I didn't like how the website what set up though, it was a bit confusing and seemed very old school. I would use this in my classroom if it was a bit more modernized. So far throughout the semester, I have enjoyed blogging about my assignments and my aspirations in the educational field. I have never blogged in the past so this is my first time doing it for a class. I have enjoyed being able to express myself and my thoughts on educational technology, it is great for those that enjoy reflection. I have learned that a blog doesn't necessarily need to be an assignment, but it can be about other subjects such as math. A useful Web 2.0 website that I would like to one day use in my classroom is the app ...

Daymee Sanchez September 19th, 2019 1. I have used Microsoft Word many times as a student and within the classroom as assigned by my teachers. From newsletters to making a schedule using the tables, or making a document to sign at the bottom, there are many different uses for Microsoft Word. I believe that Word is a very useful application, since many students have stopped taking notes and began using Word for notes. My teachers have printed out activities for us to do in the classroom using the Microsoft Word app. I have found Word very efficient when I'm creating a study guide for an exam. 2. Using information that is not originally stated by you is a very tricky topic and many students forget about plagiarism and copyright issues. In my previous classes, many of my teachers would ask me to always cite my resources using APA style. They have also asked me to create a references page with any outside sources. To avoid any copyright issues in the educational environment, I...
