Blog Post #5

    My initial experiences using Diigo were mostly me being confused. It took a while to understand the website and how to use it, but afterwards I could see how the website would be a useful tool. I liked how after you get the hang of it, it isn't very hard to use. There wasn't much I didn't like about it, especially because I still don't have very much experience with it. 

   Blogging has been an interesting experience. I've never done anything like this before, so it's unique and new to me. I've enjoyed getting to learn how to use the website and how to set everything up. I've learned how the website works and how to type up a blog. 

   A Web 2.0 tool I think I might use when teaching is youtube. It's a great way to teach material to a class, and a video often gets the student's attention. There's so many options on what to choose for your class, and most topics will have a video on them. A popular example is the plethora of math tutorial videos, where it shows you how to do various math problems. This is helpful for students who might be struggling in a certain area or topic. Youtube is a helpful resource that can be beneficial to students, but could also be easily distracting. www.youtube.com
