So far using twitter has been very helpful for EME 2040
because my fellow classmates post about our assignments and their opinions on
the assignments. I love using twitter for my own personal social uses but I had
never considered using it for anything more than that prior to this class. It
is very interesting that twitter a social bookmarking tool that can also be
used as an educational resource for learning within a classroom. I have yet to
experience any real issues with using twitter because I was already familiar
with the app prior to this class and so everything is running smoothly so far.
Twitter appears to be a helpful tool and adds character to this class because
it connects us outside of the classroom as well as inside. Twitter is a source
for information and easily answerable questions, that your peers or teachers
could help you answer. It is also a way to express yourself and share your
opinions for everyone else to see and comment on.
Before this webpage
design assignment in another class I had previously taken, we also had to
create and design our own webpage and so this was not something new for me. I
did enjoy working on my webpage because it gave me the opportunity and reason
to show my creative side and showcase my abilities on an assignment. I believe
that websites are a very helpful and a good resource that can be used in my
future career as an Elementary Educator. Websites allow for the parents,
students and fellow faculty members to be included with what is going on in my
classroom and stay up to date. Updating and working on my website is something
that I found to be very easy and something that I could stay up with when I
become a teacher in the future. I think next time I need to put more time and
effort into my website and I could make major improvements on it if just spent
a little bit more time on it. I know in the future I won’t have to make so much
up because it will all be a reality and the truth so that will make the
assignment easier to complete as well.
As we work with Diigo
more I am becoming more familiar and used to the idea of using a social book
marking tool. Prior to this class I never would have even considered or known
how to use a social book marking tool such as Diigo. It is a helpful tool that
once you have the hang of it, it is very simple and easy to use. For using it
inside of a classroom, students and parents would easily be able to access a
variety of websites and links that the teacher has provided for them. Using a
tool such as Diigo would eliminate the stress and miscommunication between
students and the parents as there would be a clear outline of which website to
use and how to access it. For teachers that are heads of subject area
departments or those that just want to share website links and information to
their fellow faculty members Diigo allows them to do this very easily and
seamlessly. Education is all about
learning new things and broadening your horizon and a tool like Diigo assists
this process along from a positive outlook.
