Education and Web 2.0

I learned throughout class the many benefits that diigo provides for learners and educators. For example, you can easily share links and post websites to share with your peers.

Also the highlighting and commenting tool helps provide a great way to point out important points made in book marks. Some passages can be extra length and a burden to look through therefore, being able to see what other people in your group have selected as important information is important for time management and getting the maximum amount of good information.

I know all the backbones and ways as to how to use just from using it everyday and adapting to the ways of twitter. It is a great source that lets you get out information. There is even a tool that students can turn on that will notify them every time a specific person tweets. It would be good for them to do that for their teacher in case they had any last minute announcements. I have been interacting with a lot of my classmates and also educational leaders in the this world. I hope to use this in my future to easily communicate with future students. However, depending on kids maturity, it could be a bad tool to use. The students would have access to direct messaging and tweet freely anything they would like for you and your other students to see.
