     I really enjoyed the web design assignment and being able to personalize my own space! Although I had never done it before, I was able to figure everything out and learn a few new skills along the way. I had never created a virtual calendar before, and was pleased with how organized and clear I was able to make it. This new skill could definitely be put to use in my daily life! I often find that my planner is messy and hard to follow; using a digital calendar could reduce the mess and keep my tasks organized. I also learned how to better use space and create an aesthetically pleasing and decluttered product. These skills can be useful not just when creating websites, but any online space. These tools can help me to take better notes as well as organize my work. You can visit by website here. In our use with Diigo, I have noticed that it could be a very useful tool while researching. It's highlighting a sticky note features make it easy to keep your annotations with t...

       Teacher pages are a good reference for both students and parents when they're in need of contacting in the teacher or getting information about the course. I was able to find a class blog curated from a high school teacher of mine on the school website's faculty directory. He has a page for each of his classes that include due dates, assignments, and notes. His blog also provides current even stories that connect the subject matter to the real world and a tab for submitting questions. I think that this class blog is a very useful tool to help students keep up with the classwork as well as expand the ideas/knowledge they've learned in the classroom. This blog also makes it very easy for parents to contact the teacher as well as become familiar with what their children are learning.

     Diigo was completely new to me before last week’s assignments. I did not have much trouble learning how to use it, but I would not say I enjoyed using it. Diigo’s set up is not very aesthetically pleasing to me; it seemed as though the web page was focused on function, not design layout.      Before this class, I had always been interested in blogging but never knew how to approach it. Now navigating my own and everyone else’s blogs has been one of my favorite parts of this class.  I really enjoy being able to set up my own online workspace and organize it however I please. My biggest takeaway from what we have learned about blogging in this class would be how to make the contents of my page appear minimal and organized.       One web tool that I would love to use in a classroom is Prezi.com . Prezi allows you to make all different types of personalized slideshow presentations. I used this website for many presentations as a ...
