At first, I was not certain how Diigo could be used in the classroom. As I continued to use the app, I became a believer in the app and how it could be useful in the classroom. I like how you can analyze an article and send it to your whole class to see.  This application can help students connect with their classmates and help the teacher educated their students better.

I have liked blogging so far. It helps me look back at what I have done and be able to talk about it for everyone to see. I have learned how to publish my own blogs using the Blogger app and how to make it look professional. I also like that a teacher can use blogs as a way to see how their students are feeling about a subject and what they are learning.

A very interesting Web 2.0 tool is Skype. Skype is a video messaging system that can be used to talk to anyone around the world that also has a video camera. Students can use this to talk to professors or other students around the world and share information. Skype makes it easy to stay in touch with whomever you need to talk to day or night.

In the future I could use surveys to ask students questions. I can see if they are enjoying the sections we are covering in class. I can get feed back from the students very fast and east. I could also make it a quiz and have the students enter their name before taking the quiz. I can then see all of the different answers and other data. This could be done with grades of middle school and above. I found what my classmates thought was interesting when reading their blogs. They were able to explain what they learned and liked about different assignments we did in class. This also helped me relate to my classmates more and feel like I knew them better than before. I also liked being able to talk to them about their blogs when I got back to the classroom and discuss it with them. I would like to learn how to Photoshop next. I believe this would be a great technology-related skill to have for the future. I like making funny pictures with other peoples face on them or their body and beco...

ILP Tech Tool Box- Google Classroom

I have chosen Google classroom for this project. The reason behind me choosing this as an important ILP Tech Tool Box is because of the experience I have with the tool. Google Classroom is very reliable and extremely helpful. You can create a home for your class in minutes and upload work, questions and anything else you may want your students to learn. https://voicethread.com/share/11785928/

The flipped classroom takes out the in-class lectures. Instead of coming to class to hear the professor talk about the subject, the students watch them from home. Then, when they come to class, they can talk to the professor about any questions they might have and have a better understanding of what they are learning. I believe this would be the best classroom setting because students can get the help they need from the teacher and have time to discuss the problem.  Open educational resources are a very easy and effective way to find new information that you can use for your school work or projects. This takes out the need for a physical book, as you can just use the resources in the digital form.  https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/earth-atmospheric-and-planetary-sciences/12-090-the-environment-of-the-earths-surface-spring-2007/course-textbook/earthsurface_7.pdf   This is an informational resource I found for glaciers.
