I have been very impressed with Diigo and the overall idea and function of it. I really do not like reading things online because I cannot highlight and annotate, however, Diigo allows me to do that. I now use Diigo everyday throughout my classwork. I use it to highlight and take notes on any important information I encounter. I also like how I can bookmark the website I am looking at and have all my articles in one place. I also enjoy the group or social aspect of it. This is great for any classes, even book clubs or extracurricular activities. This is good because people can read different articles and share the important info with the people in their group, it is great for sharing info.
PowerPoint can help analyze, evaluate, and apply information, as Bloom Taxonomy states. PowerPoint is a great supplemental tool to give a visual of the information you are given. PowerPoint should not be used as just a bunch of slides with a bunch of words and people speaking directly off of the slides. It should be engaging with a bunch of different pictures and interactive slides for the audience. This allows them to process information in different ways and see how it is applied.
Professional Development is very important for teachers because we are living in a world where technology is evolving so quickly and teachers need to be on top of it so they can use it to help their students. However, this is not just for technology, teachers should be learning more and more in order to better educate their students. I have visited a website that has courses for teachers to learn. It is from PBS.org, click here to visit the website. It basically has courses for all subjects k-12. There are options for three different types of courses. They vary between difficulty and credit being given for completing the course. People can do the hardest courses and get graduate level credit for them.This is good because teachers can choose what amount of effort they want to put into it. Teachers can do the easy ones for easy professional development.
