      I learned several aspects from the Web Design assignment. I learned how to imbued my own calendar to a website and make changes as needed. Although it is not real life, this skill can be useful for my future career. I was able to make changes to the calendar, and it would automatically appear on the website. I was also able to find several academic resources that would help parents and students. I liked the design of my  website, and I was able to create it according to my personality. For certain components, it was a bit difficult to navigate. For instance, I was not sure how to change certain fonts or colors. I had to use the elements on the left to understand how it worked.  Link to Website     I learned new skills while using Diigo. Although it only functions in Chrome, I have used the extension to annotate, book mark, and highlight the sources I have found. This application can be useful in my classroom, with team members, and...

      I decided to observe the teacher website for my elementary school. On the website, there was not much public access to each teacher's page. However, the website was well organized and provided useful information for those who were interested in the school. Specifically, the website had a link titled, "Our Team." Here, viewers could meet the faculty and staff at the school. Although there was not a hyperlink to the teacher page, there were pictures provided for each individual who works at the school. There was contact information and schedules in order to meet the faculty and tour the school. Because I do not have log-in privileges, I was unable to view more information regarding the teacher pages.  Link:  OLL Faculty and Staff     In the future, I   envision myself using technology to accomplish my professional responsibilities more efficiently and effectively. For example, I plan to use teacher productivity to...

    This is the first time I have ever used Diigo for a course. I think it is a unique and interesting tool to use for class discussions and group work. I like how I can see others' comments and posts from our class. I do not like that I cannot use Diigo in Safari. That is typically what I use when I access the Internet, so I tend to forget to use Chrome when I log into my Diigo account. Overall, I like the highlighting, annotating, and bookmarking methods that Diigo offers.      I enjoy our class blogs. I'm not one to blog as I am a private person. However, I think it is a great tool to use for class discussions. I like to read my classmates' responses and sometimes I comment on their posts. By completing the participation portfolios, I have the opportunity to comment on the blogs and read others' perspectives. Throughout the blogging process, I learned to respect others' opinions. Everyone's opinion matters, and it ...
