Blog post #8 Diigo Prior to this class, I've never heard of Diigo. Never seen a commercial or advertisement about it. I've learned how to annotate and take notes in a way that'll benefit not only myself, but anyone else who is in the group I'm posting those links to. They can find resources in a well-organized and efficient way. It's an efficient tool to use in a classroom because students can log on and include links and notes to websites that were helpful to them. It enhances everyone's learning processes. Diigo can work outside the classroom, and it shares a similar purpose: finding resources in an efficient way. It can be for students, for coworkers, for team members, or even yourself.  Technology/Teacher professional development There's this website called PBS Teacherline  that can help teachers stay informed about technology trends.

In my opinion, to teach effectively, executive school boards need to keep up with the times. For example, it'd be odd to stroll into a classroom today and all of a sudden, there's chalkboards, overhead projectors, or  see students watching a movie from a VHS tape on one of those thick TVs resting on a mobile stand. There's a certain responsibility when it comes to finding relevant resources and technologies for use in the classroom.  I also believe that technology, in a way, keeps students engaged. It's similar to an infant's need for stimulation at an early age. In a show, the colors and sounds are captivating to them. It aids in their development. And to those who argue that technology is taking the roles and job
