Hey Peers!

    Diigo seems to be a very useful learning tool with the option to highlight and discuss with peers. However, the time that I've been Diigo, it has deleted my account. I've tried multiple times to verify my account before I could recreate it again. This might have been a minor issue but it got me frustrated for a bit. Diigo itself is a good learning platform for teachers and peers to interact with each other though. I find the sticky note and highlight features very useful for the next time I have to write a paper or just want to learn!

    The blogging process is nothing special in my eyes. I find the need to write about yourself seems narcissistic and pretentious in a sense, but if it appeals to others then I'm not judging on that. I do understand the need to write especially or just share things in a non-personal way. I'd rather write in a journal with my thoughts on things than anonymously post them, but I certainly like the idea to it. In short, blogging is alright.

    A web2.0 tool I used to use is skype. Skype is a voice/chat software used to communicate with people. I use to use skype when I was playing with friends in games or just communicating with people in general. I remember in middle school, a teacher would have the students make a skype for us to have a group discussion. Skype is the OG of voice chat being the predecessor of ZOOM in my opinion. Skype is still great to use for online chatting and collaborating!

    Hey Nhan!

    Sorry to hear about the problems you've had with Diigo. I've been surprised at how often I've used Diigo on my own, and also think it's a really good social learning tool. I've also had a somewhat lukewarm response to blogging, although I think it's because I'm not too interested in what I'm blogging about.

 Hey Peers,     Today, I will write about surveys and how they can be beneficial to student teaching. First off, teachers need feedback to become better teachers. There is no such thing as a perfect teacher unless you're Robin Williams in dead poet society. I would use surveys to allow my students to give me feedback on how I can improve as a teacher. For grade matter, I would most likely teach social science so I'd survey my students on what areas or projects to study on. Maybe survey students on how their favorite period of history to focus on. Whatever it may be, surveys are very important to understand your students.     A topic I found very interesting after reviewing my classmates' blogs is relativity. When I say relativity, I mean how similar the students and I are to each other with how we feel about certain assignments or cultures. The students are just as anxious and excited about learning new teaching material for the future as I am and it is great to...

      Microsoft Word has been the main writing software I use. Microsoft word has been the most convenient tool when it comes to writing papers. I can always rely and remain diligent on Microsoft word. For example, this program I'm using doesn't have many edit options as Word such as line spacing or lettering styles. I don't remember doing much word in elementary school, but I do in middle school. In 8th grade, I remember taking a Microsoft course with word, office, excel which I'm all certified for mastering. Then in high school, I used Microsoft word for many papers so I am very accustomed to it.     I believe the most important ISTE standard would have to be leadership. Growing up, I've seen many disobedient students simply because of a lack of leadership. Now, I'm not saying that leadership should be strict obedience and dictatorship. However, many teachers are disrespected and taken advantage of due to being too friendly. I hate to see it. Usually the teach...
