      It is always nice to know what is going on with education policy in the US. It can keep you within the federal guidelines set for teachers, and as we have seen, Twitter is one of the quickest ways to obtain information.

      Twitter is not just a solid resource between a teacher and his/her students, but is also valuable for teacher collaboration, as this paragraph explains. Collaboration is necessary in learning what works, what doesn't work, new things to try, and in gaining a different perspective from your own in order to keep an open mind and eliminate discrimination.

    Teachers are increasingly bringing the real-time communication power of Twitter into the classroom to help students learn. But I've come to the conclusion that it's great for helping teachers learn as well. Twitter has simply become one of the best places for teachers to collaborate, share solutions to common classroom problems, and discuss education policy.

      The title catches the eye. When you think of Twitter, your first thought is not that it can be used for educational purposes, but when you explore further, you realize that Twitter can be an extremely helpful tool in connecting and reaching out to your students through a different medium than they're used to.

      Twitter is an important tool for students to have because of the information that can reach them when they use it frequently. In this new technological age, it is important for students to be connected to information as quickly as possible.

    Twitter is a fantastic microblogging tool. Students can use it to share and receive information quickly and efficiently. Teachers can use it for many things as well, such as assignments, complementary information from the class, and keeping students up to date with the rest of the world.

      This paragraph sums up some of the best uses for Diigo in the classroom. You can also use Diigo in the classroom by creating Groups for your students to use. This can help with group projects outside of school
  • Bookmark: When Mr. Lindsay finds a relevant resource. He clicks the Diigolet button in his browser toolbar and chooses Bookmark, tagging it with several keywords, adding a description, and sharing it with the WHS Science Group.
  • Highlight: Mr. Smashey finds an article that has some great essential questions that he wants to share with the group, so he clicks the Diigolet button in his browser toolbar and chooses the highlighter tool. After highlighting the important points, he also bookmarks the resource so as to index it and share it with the group.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Sticky Note: Mr. London has found a great resource but wants to explain how he thinks it can be used. He uses the Sticky Note tool to add a floating note to a webpage, which he indexes and shares with the group.

      These 3 ways to collaborate and share information with your group explain exactly how Diigo work and what it is all about. It is interesting to note that once you do one of these three things, you don't have to go back to post anything within your Group; Diigo will automatically upload it all to your Group page

    Diigo is a great tool to use in the classroom for group collaboration. You can share articles, videos, images, documents, etc. It is very much like a Wiki, but has many other features that really set it apart. Where a Wiki is basically just a bank of information that people can post new parts on, a Diigo group has tools that automatically add content to your Group's page. You can bookmark websites, adding links to your Diigo Group, but you can also sticky note and highlight the content of these websites. What you highlight will automatically show up under the bookmarked website. This makes it an invaluable tool for group work.

      These couple of paragraphs really explain what Podcasting is, how it is used, and how easy it is to use.

    You can use Audacity to record live audio, convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs, edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, and WAV sound files, cut, copy, splice, and mix sounds together, change the speed or pitch of a recording, and apply other effects such as noise removal and sound amplification. Audacity is an interactive tool that students can use from home or in the classroom. It is free but extremely professional, and it can be used to create Podcasts. These can be used as lectures, reviews, to give reviews, or bonus information to complement lectures.
