Blog #6

     Diigo has been a very interesting tool to use because it allows you to bookmark and highlight different parts of a specific article. It helps with engaging with other students and showing off new information you are learning about and you can even share certain notes with classmates and teachers. Even for personal use it is nice to store information for later use when you need to look up a certain article you've used in the past. The only thing I kind of dislike about Diijo is I use a Macbook so navigating the extension is a little complicating.

    Blogging has actually been very fun, I have always enjoyed writing so blogging just brings out that hobby. I have learned so much, like how to use different tools and how to format a blog to make it look visually pleasing. I enjoy being able to speak my mind and share my opinion on certain topics and also see how my opinion and experiences relate to others. I always wondered how to put together and run a blog but through this process I have learned all about it.  Blogging has brought me an entire new mindset towards people who do this for a living and shows just how much influence people can have on the internet.

    A Web 2.0 Tool I would use very frequently when teaching is YouTube because of how creative the lessons would be. Youtube is one of the most interactive websites on the internet right now. The idea behind user content creation and user to user interaction. The lessons teachers could find would be extensive. Youtube would allow students to research and watch different videos centered around a topic and would learn tiny details from each and every video, especially with the amount of influence Youtube has had on the world. Web 2.0 tools are more centered around interaction and content creation and that is the whole purpose of Youtube.
