Week 4
Social bookmarking is great! Social bookmarking allows users to save Web sites as bookmarks on the Internet. No longer will these bookmarks only reside on one computer. The user is able to access their bookmarks on any computing device, such as their home computer, their work computer, an iPad, or a smartphone. These bookmarks can be tagged with keywords in order to manage and search. The bookmarks saved on a social bookmarking site can then be shared with other users.
Social bookmarking is a great tool for both students and teachers to organize their online Web information. I quickly added the different education Web sites that we have been reviewing in class into my Diigo account. Now I don’t have to worry about forgetting about these Web sites, and I will be able to access them anywhere. I also installed the Diigo app on my iPad. As I go on with the different education classes, Diigo will be an excellent tool to use to organize any Web sites for future reference. I even added some sites on SQL, which is the programming language I use at work. It will also be helpful to search other users’ Diigo sites for information and ideas on different topics for both work and school.
This week’s readings on graphic organizers were rather interesting. I look forward to discussing it in class. They are a graphical representation of information and problems. These graphic organizers would be so helpful to a student who is a visual learner or a student with learning disabilities to be able to gain a clearer understanding of the material. I remember using venn diagrams to start writing my essays for a class assignment. It was very helpful in getting the paper started.
