Blog Post #8

   From working with Diigo, I've learned how the website works and how it is helpful. I learned how to create a bookmark, share the bookmark, add comments to a post, etc. Diigo will be useful in the classroom because it can be used for projects and it can also be used with team members to share bookmarks. In individual efforts it is helpful in saving links and creating the bookmarks easily and efficiently. 

   Powerpoint is a useful tool when it comes to all of Bloom's Taxonomy. For example, if you are learning about the scientific method it can be used to create because you can create a powerpoint all about the information. Although evaluating and analyzing might be harder to use in powerpoint, it can still be done by having students analyzing and evaluate a preexisting powerpoint. Students can apply and understand by making powerpoints of what they know about the scientific method. Students can remember by studying powerpoints of the scientific method. 

   Technology can be hard to keep up with, but it tends to be worth it. Becoming more aware of technology and learning how to use it in the classroom can be very beneficial for a teacher and for the students. There's many websites you can look up that will help in learning about technology trends which is helpful for teachers. One site I found (https://www.wabisabilearning.com/blog/teachers-technology-trends) is a list of different ways teachers can stay up to date with the newest technology trends.
