EME 2040: Blog Journal #8

      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 in my individual professional efforts. I can use

    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.

Everyone's opinion matters, and it is important to be understanding about others
