I am personally not the biggest fan of Diigo. With our assignments last week, it took me a long time to figure out to use it. I also do not like that you have to add a chrome extension for the extra features. That adds even more confusion and I feel like my computer will get a virus. I personally think that Diigo is useless and I will not use it in the future.
I do not mind blogging. I find this website a lot more easy to use and it feels like journaling, which I love to do. During the blogging process, I have learned how to comment on other people's blogs and how to edit the settings to make the blog exactly how I want it. It has been an enjoyable experience.
a Web 2.0 tool that I want to use during teaching is Google Classroom. Google Classroom was a tool my teacher's used in K-8 school and it is super easy to use, especially since we were using other tools like google docs, google slides, and gmail accounts. In my experience with it, my review of google classroom is that it is a very easy to use LMS that works with many other third-party apps and services to make digital education very easy, affordable, and accessible for teachers, students, guardians, and admins. It is primarily focused on personalizing the learning experience of students rather than managing it.

I have never used Google Classroom myself, but I've seen it used in other classes before, and other students have always had good things to say. My mom is a teacher and has used it for her class too! I think it could be a really useful tool.
ReplyDeleteI really am not a fan of Diigo either, so I'm glad someone else feels my pain haha. I used Google Classroom all throughout high school and I loved it, its so similar to Canvas so it prepared me well.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your take on Diigo, it has been difficult and a hassle to use.
