Blog Journal #6

     My experience with Diigo was interesting. It was intuitive for the most part, but the parts I had issue with were explained through the videos. I found the tutorial videos to be very helpful. I liked how the Diigo posts allowed you to add tags so you could use those to label your post to make it easier for others to browse through the posts and easier find what they were looking for. I did however find the website a little difficult to look at because of how small the font was and how close together the posts are.

    The blogging has been beneficial to allow my consolidate my thoughts on the material being taught and put them in my own words. It is also beneficial because it forces me to critically look at the work we do for this class and understand the meaning for doing them. I do find it difficult sometimes to apply what we have done towards the portfolio items and understand how it can be important, particularly the work done towards the social media posts like Twitter.

    I will definitely utilize YouTube as a Web 2.0 tool. It is very beneficial because it can put within reach of a multitude of sources who can provide plenty of information. YouTube is a platform where people can post just about anything, and many educators use this platform to expand their audience of viewers and teach many things in many different ways, which allows for teachers to show these videos to enforce something that they have already taught, or to teach the same concept in a different way for students who may need a different explanation.
