Web 2.0 Tool - My First Voki!


I have learned so much in this class about technology.  I remember after the first night I already felt overwhelmed and the class had only first started!  I really like how in this class I learned about so many different technology tools that I didn't even know existed like Animoto, Voki, and different blogging websites or tools like Blogger and Kidblog.  Before this class, I thought I had an understanding of what a wiki was but was wrong.  Now, I have helped put together a class wiki which I think is awesome!  Another tool I think is cool that I learned about is the Diigo library.  I have always used "my favorites" but I think that Diigo library is better because all of your online resources can be together in one place and can organized into lists.  Although this class has been a little frustrating at times, overall I think that it was good.  I have learned a lot of technology tools that I can incorporate into my classroom and make learning more engaging for my students.  I am super excited to continue to explore these technology tools in my classroom. :)

Diigo Diigo Diigo!

When I first heard about Diigo, I really didn't want to even sign up because I have always been a user of "favorites."  I put everything into my "favorites" list.  However, now that I have been experimenting with Diigo for a couple weeks, I like it!  I like how all of my resources are organized and I can easily find them by the tags that I gave them.  I would like to eventually organize them into lists because it would make things even easier to find, but I'll take one step at a time.  My Diigo is a work in progress, so let me know what you think!

Diigo - HELP!

From: http://www.arikhanson.com/2011/01/25/7-reasons-diigo-should-be-your-social-bookmarking-tool/

So, I have been spending the evening trying to figure out Diigo (I know, exciting!) and I am really struggling with understanding how it all really works.  I think I was able to put the "diigolet" in my toolbar as mentioned in Richardson's chapter 6, but I don't know what to do now.  Do I find a website that I use often and save it into the library? And how do I do that?  I tried playing around with it, but it is like a second language to me and I wasn't able to do anything.  I would really appreciate some help...any takers?
