Blog Post 5

Diigo is a great website to keep track of all of your sources and websites you use. I feel like Diigo is a perfect tool for students because it allows them to organize their websites used. A website like Diigo is ideal for when students are writing papers and have to keep track of what sources they are using. What I did not like about Diigo is that the website itself is a little hard to familiarize yourself with, and can be confusing. 

I personally love blogging. Blogging allows you to make posts about any topic on a larger scale platform. What I like about blogging is that there is no standard format that needs to be followed, you are free to express yourself in whichever way you want. I have learned so far about the blogging process that it is extremely easy to make blog posts even from your phone. I encourage everyone to try blogging for a little, they may not know what they're missing! 

An interesting Web 2.0 tool that I might use when teaching is Gloster. Gloster essentially allows students to make posters with graphics, texts, videos, and pictures of their choice. This is a great tool for teachers as well because it could be used to make teaching lessons in the classroom fun and interactive for students. I messed around with the functions of the website and it is very easy to make a poster and create add ons to it. Overall the website and its functions are very useful and I would recommend them to any teacher!
