So far, from using twitter I have learned how beneficial it is to interact with others. Twitter is so versatile in the ways you can share information, read information, and post information. Benefits from using twitter have been interacting with my peers and learning new education advances posted by "popular" education profiles. I am able to see tweets and retweets from my classmates about articles I am interested in reading, facts they post, etc. No, I have not experienced any issues with Twitter.
From working on my web design, I have acquired skills such a uploading background images, adding texts to these images, and linking links to "buttons" I add on my page. I like how I can create absolutely anything I want. I have the ability to make this page my own by uploading pictures that stand out to me, playing around with colors and seeing what looks best, and writing about information I would like my future students to know about. I can improve this website next time maybe by completing it a little quicker. Since it was my first time ever doing an assignment like this, it took me some time to play around with the features. Completing this website could help me in my future career because as a future educator, I plan to create a website like this one for my class. I think it is very useful for students and parents to find and read information like the ones I uploaded for this assignment. (class calendar, class announcements, and school supply list).
The new skills I learned from working with Diigo is learning how to annotate and publically comment on my classmates annotations. I think it is so cool how Diigo allows you to do this. It makes it easy to share information and personal thoughts on subjects you want to share with others. This application can be useful in my classroom if I ever want my students to annotate on lessons we are learning in class and sharing this information with their peers. In my individual professional efforts I could use Diigo for assigned readings in my classes. For example, if I am reading an article I could bookmark it, then go through it and annotate by marking and commenting points and paragraphs that stand out to me. If I need to study from this article, I could later go back and read the points I made to facilitate my studying.
