Diigo Library

http://www.diigo.com/user/lingilb32 This link goes to my "My Library" on Diigo.com. This tool is very helpful in saving important articles or other resources for Educational purposes. For example, this could be used in my own teaching by catching up on the latest article dealing with Education or to get useful ideas for projects in my classroom for my students. For my own learning, I can use Diigo for when I am writing a paper and need sources. With Diigo's library, I can sort through all the articles and even tag them to my specific topic so it would be easier to look up the specific information that I need. Like I said above, I can use Diigo in my own teaching for updating myself on Educational issues or even the latest article dealing with Education. For the students, I can use this for finding school projects that would be fun and easy for them to do for homework and even show them how to use the website so it can be useful to them for whenever they write a paper or essay in my class.

Using Go!Animate

GoAnimate.com: A Moment in the Break Room by lingilb32

Like it? Create your own at GoAnimate.com. It's free and fun! Using Go!Animate was a fun experience! It was cool to be able to make my own small film in a decent amount of time. This is a good resource for educational purposes because it can be a fun teaching tool for a teacher to demonstrate a concept or rule, or it can be a good idea for a student project. A student can use this animated film to interpret a story or get his/her idea across for an assigned project. It extends the use of visual aid in a classroom and can be very useful for everyone!

Using Bubbl.us for Educational Purposes

I previewed Bubbl.us, as you can see by the example below, but the one above is related to my area of teaching: English. I think bubbl.us would be a great resource for the prewriting of an essay. As shown above, I put the main topic of the essay in the middle bubble and linked the rest together by the ideas that came with each new subtopic from the main topic.

Using Pixton

Using Pixton was a lot of fun and not too much work to do. This can be a fun activity for students to do and can also give them the motivation to complete a homework assignment while enjoying it at the same time. This is can be used not only for projects, but for demonstrations or even for fun! In the Pixton comic that I created below, it shows how you cannot be mean to a new student and judge them based on their skin color. Using this also gets a teacher's values and rules across to the students in a way they can understand, pay attention to, and remember.
