Blog Post #6

     My initial experiences using Diigo have been fairly pleasant. I thought that I would be able to manage figuring out how to work it on my own, but I definitely had to watch the tutorial videos. I like that on Diigo we are able to share a website with a group and even annotate it so that the group can also view it, I think that will be a useful tool as a teacher. One thing that I don't love about Diigo is that when you are on the group page, it is a bit chaotic and can be confusing to see what is what.

    I have really enjoyed blogging so far. I think that our blog assignments are a great way to incorporate what we are learning in class to our own understanding. I like blogging because I enjoy being able to complete my assignment while also being able to use comfortable language, and not have to be so formal. It is also fun to think that it is kind of like a little discussion with our professor every week. I have nothing bad to say about blogging, I enjoy it and Professor Bagby's tutorials in class on how to navigate Blogger make it a breeze.

    A Web 2.0 tool that I would personally choose to use when teaching would once again be Quizlet. It is such a useful tool for learning and studying. Students are able to view flashcards, take practice tests, or even participate in a little group competition on Quizlet Live with learning material. It is nice that I could make study guides on Quizlet for my students, or they could even make their own if they wanted to. The site is so easy to navigate and it is also an app.

      My name is Kaeli and I am from Jacksonville, Florida. I am currently attending Florida State University as a junior and pursuing my bachelor's degree in family and child sciences, with a minor in education. It is my goal to have a career as an elementary teacher after I graduate. I come from a big family, with 6 siblings. I have an English Bulldog named Piper and she is my whole world. I have always loved to read and I do so with any spare time I have between school, work, and a social life.      I believe that I most likely have as much technological knowledge and experience as the average college student. I have used technology in an educational setting since middle school, with presentations made using Powerpoint, or papers written in Word, but not much else outside of that. I suppose these last few semesters I have used technology in an educational setting more than ever, and can include Zoom in my technological abilities. I do not have any experience with writing or main

 The Web Design assignment was actually a pretty fun assignment to complete. The Weebly website is very user friendly and easy to navigate. It was fun getting to design all of the pages in any way I wanted to. I do not have any complaints about the assignment, I thought it was a fun and easy project, all of the design elements are right there with a click of a button. I will actually very likely use this site during my future career as a teacher, if it us authorized. I think it is a great way to have a place with information that can be easily accessed by parents and students, and allow an extra form of communication. http://kaelilegg.weebly.com/ I think that Diigo is a great site for both students like myself and for teachers. It is a little complicated to use at first, but once you get the hang of it, it can be really useful. It is a great tool for both team and individual work as you can share links to websites, annotations, leave notes, and it can all be published for everyone in a

 Distance learning was very unexpected and has had its advantages and disadvantages. I have liked that in some of my classes I am able to move at my own pace and work from the comfort of my home. However, it can be very distracting when I am sitting at my computer all day with nothing else to do. It was also really disappointing for me when we moved to distance learning because I was accepted to FSU the next semester, so I have not had the opportunity to really make any friends or anything here. As a teacher, if we were doing distance learning I would go out of my way to ensure that I create personal relationships with every one of my students. Having a real connection is so beneficial and makes a learning environment more comfortable. Open educational resources are resources meant to be accessible to any students. This helps to improve the educational community, as it benefits those who cannot afford all of their school supplies. For example, if a student is taking a class, but cannot
