Diigo, Blogging, and Web 2.0

    I think Diigo can defiantly be useful in a professional setting to share information or sources. In this class I think its helpful to learn how it works, and to start doing research for when i do eventually go into a classroom as a teacher. Right now I can't really use some of the sources since I'm not a teacher yet, but i think it has helped me build a background.

    As for blogging, writing on public forums still makes me a little nervous because I am very cautious about my digital footprint and what I say online. I do like the more informal vibe of blogs though. I like being able to write in shorter stints rather that long essays. I also liked learning about all to the things you can link to a blog, like twitter accounts and license information.

    When I do become a teacher, if I need students to watch videos for class, I would use Youtube kids to ensure i don't accidently present inappropriate information. Youtube kids has kid-friendly ads 9which is helpful because regular Youtube sometimes has advertisements for things like alcohol) and will not show videos that have been flagged for language or content. i think it is a good way to avoid issues with parents or administration. here is the link https://www.youtubekids.com/
