Would you like to use any of these resources we talked about in class (or perhaps others you found on your own) to help further your learning? Which ones? How might these resources be useful to you as a student and as a teacher?
The above questions were asked this week for our weekly responses. In class we discussed websites such as "w3school", "diigo," and "googledoc." The one I liked best was the googledoc website. I found that it to probably be the most useful not just for my future classes, but for my school work for now a days. Group projects and just documents that you would like a number of people to view or comment on can easily be placed in a googledoc and you don't have to worry about printing off hard copies and trying to schedule a time when a group can get together to work on a group project. This way groups can have conversations over googledoc as they work on the article online as their own separate homes. This is also a nice way to share information with your students so they don't have to receive tons of printouts from the teacher. The internet and computers are used so heavily today, why not go with the flow? Right?
Diigo also seemed like a nice tool that can be used to collect information that you want to be able to remember and pull up later. This can be useful as a student in collecting research or as a teacher when you are looking for more ways to present information to your students. Diigo website
How many times did your high school teacher give you handouts that you maybe read once but never again. That would be perfect for google docs. If the student wants to study it or they feel it's really important they can print it if they like. Thus saving schools tons of money.
