Blog Journal 5
- My initial experiences with Diigo were good. I think it would be great education tool to utilize in the classroom as an educator. The customization options and social features it offers can help students learn key web skills such as sharing online content. One thing I didn't really like is that you can only use Diigo in one tab. But, with Diigo, teachers and students have a space to organize, customize, and share content while learning about a variety of subjects. Due to the options and how easy it is to use, I liked Diigo the first time I used it.
- My experience with blogging so far has been really good. Blogger is an easy blog website to use. It is very clear and not overwhelming with too many options. Writing a blog and publishing it on my account has been a breeze. I like the idea of blogging and being able to share my thoughts and ideas to an audience. It holds similarities to being a teacher. I like using Blogger now as a way to submit these assignments. It is very easy to use and it is fun.
- Wheel Decide is a nice online spinner that is great for vocabulary, student voice and choice, and questions. Keep a spreadsheet with your students’ names, then copy and paste them for a quick decision maker. Wheel Decide helps make decisions interesting and fair. Choose from ready-made wheels with choices such as games or food. Create your own wheels. Scroll down below the wheel and choose "Make/Modify Wheel" to customize your wheel for any purpose.
Use Wheel Decide to select a student to do an activity or to answer a question. Allow students to use the name generator to choose which classmate comes next. Create your class name wheel and SAVE it to use throughout the year. Use Wheel Decide as part of a probability unit to chart how often names or items appear with random spins (be sure not to remove them from the list as they appear). Create custom wheels throughout the year to help with decisions such as students' choice activities, options for games at indoor recess, or subjects for reports.

I am glad that you enjoyed blogging and I enjoyed your writing too. I like blogs most because it allows you to sit down and write about your reflection. Twitter only has 140 characters and it is often shallow but quick.
