 1. I haven’t begun to use Diigo to be honest. I’m just getting up to speed with certain assignments while also trying to balance other classes. I intend on using Diigo in whatever way it is being asked to for class. I’m sure it’s helpful for storing important information and for study reasons, but i don't know much past that. I have trouble understanding what the website is and what it does. 

2. I’ve been blogging since I was a child during the 6th grade with AIM messaging. Blogger and Twitter comes easy for me considering how much i have indulged in blogging. I believe having the blogs as assignments that contain important information for studying make blogs useful in education. It is something I could incorporate when I become a teacher. I prefer blogger for how organized it appears itself to be and the layout, as well as how user-friendly it is. I haven't learned anything new that i didn't know before.

3. I would use Wix.com, a website-builder and a source for information for students. It will be useful because its user-friendly software will teach students how to create and edit blogs, layouts, titles, and other tools for the purpose of learning a new, important skill. The students can be as creative as possible by adding photos and putting different colors to their website, as long as they are school-appropriate. They would be learning a skill that's used throughout their educational career, perhaps their professional career as well.

 1. I viewed the website of Deerlake Middle School and came across the profile of Joseph Miller. Publicly he has information like his job title and location, his work email, and photos of himself. He also has information about his educational and career accomplishments, and details of his home life. He also details his personal hobbies    https://www.leonschools.net/Page/37966    2. I view myself using a platform such as Microsoft Excel, Blogger, even the wiki platform that we used for a recent assignment. Websites such as those will simplify the organizational responsibilities of teacher like keeping tabs on grades and assignments for students. I see a lot of the tools we go over in class becoming beneficial when I pursue a career in teaching. Blogger and Powerpoint especially because organization is key and these websites allow for assignments and files to be organized.  3. I very much enjoyed using the wiki platform. I never used or even knew about ...

 1. I’ve used Microsoft Word my entire education career. I’ve always found the program user friendly and essential for both students AND teachers alike. I've found that assignments and essays can be done efficiently through Microsoft Word. I would like to expand my knowledge on formatting and the use of cover pages. I prefer the use of Microsoft Word because of the experience I've gained through it and how easy it is to send documents with it, whereas Google docs may take a few extra steps to get the right file format. 2. The ISTE Standards for Educators is a blueprint for efficient learning for both educators and students using new technology that the 21st century has offered. The Leader standard helps student confidence through access and engagement with such new technology. The mix of adequate teachers and the opportunity to meet the technological needs of several groups of students allows for the most capable learning for students. As teachers are role models by continuous...

 1. Ive thoroughly enjoyed using twitter so far this semester. i am an avid Twitter user outside of this class so using it for educational purposes is a lot of fun. i havent been interacting with too many people outside of some the tech talks, but i am always open to expanding my digital profile in terms of my educative twitter profile. twitter can be very useful in my career field. i can have classes follow a main twitter account (mine) and i will have updates on education talks and maybe reminders for certain students that assignment due dates are upcoming. twitter may be a distraction considering it is a popular social media site, but if used properly it can be a major help for students and teachers. 2. The digital divide influences students throughout the country. Be aware about the inequalities between certain ethnic groups such as minorities and the impoverished who face a lack of resources and the lack of accessibility to high speed internet. Some underprivileged students an...
