Learning about Diigo in this class gave me a wider perspective of types of social media that exist. Diigo is a platform that enables you to share content with a group of professionals that are also looking for professional development resources. In my opinion, I think this is the right way of using social media because it is very productive and is feeding the development of many people through sharing. I enjoyed using the internet for sharing growth and development.

PowerPoint goes very well with Bloom's Taxonomy. The first step is knowledge: PowerPoint was created to share and present knowledge with other people. The second one is comprehension, this tool is a facilitator to comprehend any information. When using powerpoint you need to apply different knowledge and you can also teach others how to apply knowledge in real life. Then it comes analysis, with this tool you can present an analysis of different topics perfectly. Lastly synthesis and evaluation, Powerpoint lets you do both because it is so easy to use that you can synthesize any material and evaluation because your spectators can evaluate the information presented.

I like the site "Cnet" a lot. It is a site that provides news about the newest technology there is in the market. I like it because it's designed and because it is up to date. I always use it to look for new resources when deciding to buy any technology that will aid me in my career.

    I agree, Diigo can be really useful. I think the site is a little bit clunky for my taste. If it were a little bit smoother, it would be better. Powerpoint is also very applicable to the first few points in Bloom's Taxonomy, but I don't really know how it can achieve the latter stages with powerpoint alone though!

    I also like to use power point and find it very useful as a tool. There are so many practical uses for it that it has become a staple in education.

Before this class, I had never used Twitter before. Not, it is the social media I enjoy the most. I like the intellectual and discussion aspect of it. I feel like other social media can be superficial while Twitter enables important discussions about interesting topics between users. My experience so far has been positive. I have interacted with my peers, shared my feelings and thoughts, and read really useful information by other accounts I follow. Now, my experience creating my own website surprised me. It was far more difficult than I thought. However, I am someone who is not very tech savvy. This assignment manages to give me some headaches, but finally, I did my best. I learned that you can use free resources as Weebly to create a webpage that represents you. I think that nowadays this is very important because it can be like your presentation card online. Students with special needs need different kinds of learning. This is why assistive and adaptive technologie...

I loved FlipGrid, it is definitely my favorite resource we have reviewed in this class. Go check out my video on this class Grid! Open Educational Resources are teaching resources that are available to all public who need them on the internet. They range from resources and guides to make lesson plans, to websites where teachers can share their original curriculums. One example of an EOR is the website called Connexions. In this website, you can find educational resources such as books or even classes in the form of modules. Whoever that wants to learn an educational resource but does not want to consume it the conventional format can access Connexions and consume it in a module format. In my opinion, the module format is much more educational than others. If you want to check it out, click the link below: https://cnx.org/ For the last two assignments, I learned how we can use PowerPoint to create an educational presentation. I learned how to research information, format it p...

For our last assignment, we used Qualtrics to create surveys. I found this tool super interesting because it is an easy way to collect data and the opinions of your students or other populations. As a psychology major, I am very familiar with surveys because they are one of the main ways in which we collect data for research. As a teacher teaching psychology to a senior class, I would use surveys to gain a sense of my student's preferences and personalities. This might help me create more personalized lesson plans. There were several aspects of my classmate's blog post that I enjoyed. The aspect I enjoyed the most was to get to know their personal opinions and interests. I feel like it helped me get different perspectives on the same material I was learning and this made my perspective broader. It was interesting to see how the diversity of majors and backgrounds shaped every student's experience of the material in this class. In my opinion, nowadays is very valuable to...
