 My initial experience with Diigo hasn't been the most positive because it is a bit confusing. I had to watch several different tutorial videos about how to install it to my chrome, bookmark a page, edit a bookmark, etc. I would not consider myself the most tech-savvy person, so it took me a bit to get it right. Besides it being confusing I would say that I understand it now! 

My initial experience with blogging so far has been positive. I love writing about the topics I learn in class because they interest me. I love how I can express in my own words how I feel about the topic and I love how others can read it. From my experience, there is nothing I do not like about blogging. 

One Web 2.0 tool that I would use in the future would be YouTube. YouTube has millions of videos that are right at your fingertips, for free! YouTube has so many informative and educational videos that can engage and entertain students. As a teacher, I want to implement YouTube because it is fun and easy to use. https://www.youtube.com/

 Hello! Today I will be talking about copyright, fair use, technology implementation issues, and new skills I have acquired. To begin copyright is the legal protection of any property someone creates. It means that if you create something you have the right to use it and distribute it if you want to. Fair use is when you copy anything for a limited purpose and this can be for school, noncommercial, and more. As a future educator, it is important that anything you create is registered and protected. As for using other things in the classroom students and educators cannot use copyrighted works without permission. It is ok to use things created by yourself or students but you cannot use pirated or copied programs, photocopies of an entire textbook, and more.  Secondly, I will discuss technology implementation issues. Cyberbullying is the act of bullying a person over electric communication. Cyberbullying affects many students every day but there are things we can do as educators to solve

 When designing my website I learned many new and helpful skills. For instance, I learned how to align text which ultimately makes the page more organized. I also learned how to attach a link to text that opens a separate tab or takes you to the different sections on my website. Finally, I learned how to embed a Google Calendar into my website. Overall, I had such a fun time creating my website because I got to get creative! I also get to use these skills I learned in the future when I am creating an actual website for my students and parents.  https://verduzcomath.weebly.com/ I also learned new skills when working with Diigo. I learned how to highlight content on any page and also add comments to them. It is extremely helpful to mark important stuff and write why I marked them. I also learned to bookmark, search, organize, and share discussions. In the future, this application can be extremely useful in my classroom because students can organize their work better and share it with pee

Since signing up for Twitter I have used different sources that have helped me to communicate and stay connected with tweets from informal educators and school systems. Tweets are messages that can contain photos, links, videos, text boxes with information, and more. On Twitter, you can retweet, reply, mention someone, use hashtags, follow someone, and direct message someone. The reason I had to create a Twitter for this class was so I can publicly post using #fsu2040 or #edtech or more for my tweet having to do with the topics discussed in class. I also have been able to interact with informal teachers or school systems that have been beneficial for me as a future educator. I have been able to learn information on how to make the "perfect" PowerPoint for students and how to register it for copyright. I have learned much more as well but that is just one example. I am sure Twitter will continue to be a valuable resource for me as I continue my journey to becoming a teacher si
