 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.

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 group to view. In the professional teaching world, I think it would be very helpful to use among teachers who commonly work together in order to share resources and notes with others.

Because technology is so engrained in society now, it is also becoming continuously incorporated into the education community. That being said, technology is constantly advancing, so teachers really have to make an effort to keep up with all of these innovations. Professional development for teachers now includes technology workshops and learning.

She provides links to many different tools and explanations to go along with them. Her content is intended to help educators (and parents) understand different technology and resources available to them and students.
