Blog Journal 5

This was my first time using Diigo and it was honestly not what I was expecting at all. Like anything, there are pros and cons. For the pros, I liked how it could be embedded in my google chrome. That made it very easy to access when doing google searches and when needing to annotate websites. However, I thought it was kind of weird submitting the annotations to a group, because I don't see myself doing that in the future.

This was also my first time blogging. At first I was overwhelmed by all of the options and themes and additionally by how to even use it. But, once I got the hang of things I grew to like it. I learned that blogging is a cool way to interact and to share your experiences. I do plan on exploring more to better understand how I can be more connected, like following other people's blogs similar to Twitter.

Class Dojo is a Web 2.0 tool that can be used in the classroom for teaching. This is a tool that can be used by teachers and parents, and can be experienced by students. Teachers can use this Web 2.0 tool to engage students in what they are learning and to help parents understand how their child is doing in the classroom. This can be done by giving students rewards (e.g., stickers) when they are on task or answer a question correctly. These rewards will reinforce these behaviors by the students.
