Diigo is a nice accompaniment to the blogs, allowing more direct access to posted resources from many students, including extension links. The website is pretty clear in terms of how to use it, making t perfect for student use. Links and such can be posted to the blogs, paddled, twitter, etc., so it does feel redundant to add Diigo as another platform that does this. However, Diigo does provide more detail boost each resource, making it useful for a class with content and goals like this one has.
I really enjoy the blowing assignment for the class. It is not only helpful for summarizing and reviewing what I personally learned during the classes from that week, but it also allows for students to access the overview of what each student from the class learned. The Blogs also provide a source for the future, as the website will remain up long after I am done taking the class, allowing me to access it for resources and diary-type reflection .he process of blogging has showed me first hand the benefits of reviewing what was divulged from that weeks assignments, this may alter my note-taking format to be more similar to Cornell notes, that include a summary at the end.
I believe that Pinterest can be a very useful resource fir modern teachers, allowing more spread of visual aids, games, foods, and ideas to share with students. The Pinterest page linked below is a good example of one that focuses on providing resources to teachers and students for children grades K-12. Pinterest is a great example of a Web 2.0 resource, pages like the one provided create an entirely new way to share information and spread practices of good education. This page includes a wide variety of topics, giving many ideas and resources for each, the organization is great for clearly finding what group of information you want to look at.
