Blog Post 8

 

This past week we had an assignment where we had to create a website for any grade level. I chose the website template that Weebly offered and created a website for a second-grade class. I used Weebly once in my freshman year to create a website but at the time it was much different and didn’t include all of the things that Weebly offers now. I liked the versatility of Weebly the most. It gave me many options for creativity. In the future, I can use Weebly to create a classroom website for students to review material discussed in class. http://keepitcole.weebly.com/

Diigo is a research tool and knowledge-sharing community. Using Diigo has given me a better way to communicate with peers. In a classroom setting, this application can be used to share information or to compile research articles. For my personal use, I would use Diigo to research multiple articles at one time whenever I had a topic that needed attention and shares those articles with my peers or students.

Although this is considered more of a blog it can still be used for teachers to stay up to date on technology trends. https://theinnovativeeducator.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html this is a blog post website that helps teachers stay ready for what's new in technology. Lisa Nielsen is the author of this website and also a teacher who promotes innovation and always shares new ideas when she finds them. I believe the skill that Lisa has is valuable because teachers need to evolve with the growing technology to keep up with the student they teach.
