 Diigo Experience I personally enjoyed learning about Diigo and I think it's a wonderful tool to bookmark information and annotate websites, but it's not really something I'm personally interested in. there are some limitations and tools that I wish were included in the features Diigo has with its' annotation feature, though the bookmark part of the software does seem all inclusive and able to be organized efficiently. I like how searchable information is on the bookmark section, if and only if the keywords and tags in addition to the comment on the bookmark is thorough and thought through to make sure it is actually searchable for the desired information, otherwise it's basically useless in my mind. the annotation capabilities we went through were cool but I would've like for the sticky-note feature to be more user friendly and able to be resized to fit the website page for easier access to them without compromising the information on the website which may or m...

I've been interacting with a few teachers that are also "influencers" plus a few suggested by the professor of EME 2040.

Standards and Technology Matrices for ELA One of the standards for grades 6 through 8 is Hardware and Software understanding that requires full comprehension of the many components of a computer. Students should be able  to distinguish between computer parts (identifying their characteristics), explain the function of each component, and evaluate issues to implement software and hardware fixes through step-by-step processes. Based on my current skill set, I think that I would need some additional education to be able to teach this standard accurately and with learning retention by the student body. I have some knowledge of the components of a computer and how they work, but this is mainly in the realm of software not hardware, and in order to keep up with innovation and this generation's learning techniques, I will need some additional training in this area. These standards are very necessary for future computer understanding and continued education for after grades 6-8, so to be a...
