Alexa Ruane- Blog Journal #6

 

In the initial steps in completing my assignments using Diigo, I was confused by the site’s formatting and layout. After joining the EME 2040 Diigo group, the structure made more sense. However, I personally prefer using a browser to bookmark external sites. This could simply be because using Diigo has been a learning experience for me and I am not fully comfortable with it yet. Additionally, I prefer doing annotations by hand on paper because it is much more effective for my learning technique. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed using blogging in this class! I like interacting with my classmates and hearing their thoughts. This allows me to broaden my perspective and reflect on the curriculum of this course. So far, I have bettered my skills in precisely answering prompts and learned how to navigate the educational platform Blogger. 

One collaborative Web 2.0 tool that I might use when I become an educator is Edmodo. I used Edmodo all throughout high school and really enjoyed how easy the platform was to navigate. I especially appreciated Edmodo when it came time for midterm and final exams because all of the study material was still accessible. Overall, it was a great way to safely communicate outside of the classroom and have access to course material. Below is a link to the collaborative Web 2.0 tool.
