Journal 8
Diigo is a new application for me and throughout my time working with it within the classroom, I gathered many skills that I will be able to use in my future. For instance, I now know how to review an article and highlight the most important information needed for research purposes and overall learning. Diigo is also a great resource for me to share article and websites I find to other individuals, while also giving me the opportunity to comment on other people's articles and posts. I personally think this application would be useful to my future classroom as it would allow me to have one platform where my colleagues and I are able to exchange sites and resources that can be beneficial towards teaching and preparing students. Overall, I think Diggio is an excellent way to help educators and students store the best websites they find overtime.
I personally believe that the PowerPoint presentation application would be an excellent resource to support student learning at each level of Bloom's Taxonomy because the continuous demonstration of information provided on each slide can guide students through learning. For starters, most PowerPoints begin by introducing information to the viewer for the first time. The presentation continues to cover the topic being taught into more depth which reflects the evaluation level of Bloom's Taxonomy, which encourages learners to grasp the importance of the subject. This is then followed by the teacher's efforts to have the students analyze the information and eventually reaching a better understanding to the point where the subject could be applied to other scenarios and situations. The last portion of PowerPoints would be an excellent way to review the content taught and ensuring that students remember what they have learned.
As our society continues to modernize and progress, the presence and role of technology within the classroom continues to rise. With this being said, one of the teacher's main responsibilities entails being aware of the technological trends and how they can be used to further students success. The website teachhub.com is an excellent example of the way in which teachers can be kept updated with the technological world as it gives tips, topics, and information on professional development. I really enjoyed this website as I feel it provides extensive information and a place where teachers can go to share information, ideas, and support.

This was also the first time using Diigo for me. At first I found it pointless but as you stated there are a lot of really great ways to use the website.
