    When I first tried Diigo, I thought it was a good way to do study online and share bookmarks with others. It was very helpful to be able to highlight, make notes on, and organize web material right in the browser. But as a beginner, I found the design a bit confusing at first because it had so many features that I had to look them over a few times before I fully understood them. Even though it took some time to learn, I liked how Diigo could be used to organize information and work together.

    Blogging has been enjoyable and helpful because it lets me share my thoughts and ideas in a public and organized way. I like that it gives me a creative outlet and helps me write and organize my thoughts better. Blogging has helped me grow as a student and as a worker by teaching me how to organize my thoughts, improve my writing style, and stay up to date on the subjects I write about.

    Prezi is an interesting Web 2.0 tool that I could employ in my classroom. Prezi is a dynamic presentation tool that is different from regular talks with slides. Its zoomable canvas lets you tell stories in a more interesting and nonlinear way, which encourages imagination and visual appeal. Because the tool lets people work together, it can also be used for group projects and interactive class talks. In general, Prezi is a new and visually appealing alternative to standard presentation tools. It gives teachers a new way to get students involved. Prezi

    Hey Mia! I haven't heard of Prezi before, but based on how you described it, it sounds like a really good platform and I think I might use it in my future classroom. Just curious, but how did you learn about it? Was it something your teachers have used or was it something you discovered on your own?

 Hi! I am Mia Izquierdo.       I am sophomore in college in the major of Communication Sciences and Disorders. I aspire to become a speech therapist, dedicating my studies to the intricacies of communication. I enjoy running and practicing yoga; they have become integral parts of my routine, reflecting my commitment to holistic well-being. I have a keen interest in the art of speech and a dedication to fostering effective communication, I am on a journey to make a meaningful impact in the field of speech therapy.      In high school, my interaction with technology was primarily centered around note-taking tools like Notability. I embraced the convenience of digital note-taking, with features such as annotations, highlighting, and organization to enhance my study process. However I can now recognize the vast potential of technology in education, I am now eager to explore new applications, software, and platforms. I am ready to embrace a more compr...

     As for using Twitter for my Personal Learning Networks, I haven't really done that before. For now, though, I know that these sites can help professionals and teachers connect, share tools, and have conversations. Twitter is great for networking and keeping up to date in your field because it lets you post updates and have conversations with people all over the world. Talking to teachers, experts, and other students on Twitter can give you useful information, different points of view, and chances to work together. In the future, these tools could help me keep up with the fast-changing field of AI and add to debates in the tech community as a whole.      The digital divide has a big effect on how well students do in school. The difference between those who can use digital tools and those who can't is this divide. Inequality in the economy, a lack of infrastructure, and a lack of access to the internet are some of the reasons for this. As a...

 Being a distant student was interesting and demanding, during the Covid-19-induced remote learning phase. The freedom that distance learning provides is one thing I value about it. My ability to attend lessons from the comfort of my own home improved my time management and flexibility in handling other obligations. The availability of resources on the internet has also improved my educational experience. On the other hand, I discovered that two significant drawbacks were the absence of in-person communication and the classroom's feeling of community. It frequently gave off an isolated, disjointed vibe. I see how crucial it is to close this gap for distant learners as a future instructor. More interactive elements in online courses, the creation of virtual communities through discussion boards or group projects, and consistent feedback and assistance can all greatly improve the experience of distant learners and make them feel more fulfilled and engaged. Open Educati...
