     My initial experiences with Diigo were pretty good. I really enjoyed the platform itself and it was pretty easy to use once I got the hang of it. I like the book marking feature in Diigo. What I don't like is that you have to go through another website. For instance, if fsu libraries was linked to Diigo that would be a lot more convenient. 

    I really enjoyed blogging so far. It is a good way to express my feelings towards what we have been learning at that time in class. I like that I can express my feelings and my other classmates can read my thoughts if they so desire. What I don't really like is all the restraints and lack of creativity. During the blogging process I have learned that it is good to write out how you're feeling. It is a good gage of how successful you are in the class, and what you need to improve on to succeed even further. 

    An interesting Web 2.0 tool that I will likely use while teaching is Youtube. I love Youtube. There are so many different videos that I can show my class depending on the lesson. For instance, if it is a math lesson I am sure that I would be able to find tons of videos and songs explaining the concept. Same with an English lesson. It is easy to use. It is also very accessible. Every kind of video a teacher could want is right at their finger tips.

          I learned a lot of new skills though working on the website assignment. I learned how to link a page to another page, add videos, and add hyperlinks. I also learned how to make a website in general, I had done it once before but I was not good at it at all. I liked the creativity of the assignment and that I was able to use wix instead of weekly because I was much more comfortable with wix. What I did not like was the time commitment, I spent several hours on it in hopes of receiving a high pass. What I learned in this assignment can be used in my future career because I can make a website for my classroom when I become a teacher.  https://cohengirlssamantha.wixsite.com/mysite     I have learned many things while working with Diigo. I have learned to make sure that credibility is established. I have also learned how to annotate effectively, and how to bo...

      Hi! My name is Samantha Cohen. I am a freshman here at Florida State University.  My major is Special Education. I have a twin sister who is majoring in pre-optometry at the University of Alabama. I also have a younger brother who is a senior in high school. My mom is a school social worker, and my dad is a civil engineer. I have a dog who is half Chihuahua and half Dachshund. Her name is Maggie. I like to sing, hang out with friends, and watch Disney Pixar movies. I don't have many prior experiences using technology in an education setting besides what I did in my EDF 1005 class, which is introduction to education, in the fall semester. We made PowerPoints using google slides and Microsoft powerpoint. We also created a timeline using canva. Finally, we accessed various readings through canvas. Additionally we uploaded a few different videos to YouTube.  A personal learning network of mine is singing. I really enjoy singing, it is one of my favorite t...

      I learned several skills from assignment number five. I learned how to hyperlink powerpoint slides to other slides. I also learned how to turn off the manual forward and back buttons to my slides and add my own buttons. I liked that I had full creativity on the assignment. I could make my choose your own adventure story be whatever I wanted it to be. What I didn't like was that the assignment was due right after spring break. I know that we have a lot of things that we need to do in a short period of time, but I did not want to work over spring break so I had a lot to do in just a few short days.      I will use data collection and survey tools a lot as a teacher for elementary aged kids with special needs. I will need to know what my students like and don't like about the class. I will also use survey tools and data connection for the parents of the students in my class. I wil...
