This is my Diigo Library, mainly consisting of websites dealing with Mathematics.

My Diigo Library

Diigo can be very useful in my own learning. The style of bookmarking and being able to highlight and capture different parts of websites makes it easy for anyone to perform simple research. In my own learning, Diigo could be a great tool when it comes to finding significant websites in a quick and easy fashion. Also, websites are much easier to remember when all it takes is a simple click.

In teaching, Diigo can also be quite useful. Some of the websites I saved in My Library were articles about how to teach math, how not to teach math, and many different ways to use methods and lessons in a variety of mathematical subjects. Also, I think Diigo would be a useful thing as a teacher because it is easy to save and recommend websites for extra math help. If a student gets stuck on homework, the student will have some websites recommended by me on Diigo or in class.

Thanks for reading

Pixton could be a fun way to teach children in elementary school a numerous amount of different lessons and stories. It would be an easy way to get kids interested in subjects that may not originally be interesting.

Also, I think pixton could be used as a tool from students in high school to create a fun project of some kind. For example, Instead of requiring a Power Point Presentation, the students could creatively present something through a comic strip.

The use of Google Documents that I chose is somewhat similar to how i used Twitter. On Twitter, I wanted to be able to post a story problem, which the students would go home and try the night of the assignment. Google documents would be used in a similar way, but the work would be done directly on the Google Document itself. I honestly have not completely figured out how to use Google Documents, but it would definitely be a useful tool in a classroom setting that was filled with individual computers. A problem would be posted onto a document like in my example, and the class would take the time to try and work it out. I think the process would work more efficiently with touch screens or pen pads.

Questions that I have:

How would the students be able to easily show their work in a neat and organized fashion on the computer?

How can the students actually write on the document itself?

Ideas for Education:

Use it as a forum or a work space like the example I provided.

Use a document as a forum to formulate ideas for using new technologies and classroom methods.
