What I disliked about diigo was I thought it was very complicated learning on my own the first week, since I wasn't in class. I still have a little trouble figuring out how to bookmark and annotate, but I have gotten way better. I do like that I was able to share what I book marked and see the things my classmates bookmarked because I do think diigo could be useful for collaboration purposes. I'm not sure if i'm going to use diigo because I am a little better at just bookmarking site in my browser and saving them under something for me to remember, but you never know. I might use it as a teacher. I think I learned a lot from both my individual efforts in diigo and viewing my peers bookmarks. I learned about a lot more website that I could use in the future as a teacher, and also websites that could be helpful to me now as a student.

ILP 2 Lynda excel quick Tips
I chose to watch a tutorial on excel because I have no clue how to use the software and I get it for free on my computer. I also choose to watch excel because my teacher in my bio lab has my group use it a lot and I usually sit there and do nothing because I don't know how, and also because I saw that soon we are having a skill check for excel. It would be great to have some kind of clue how to use it. There's way toooooo much you can do with excel, and I can already tell it will not be one of my favorites. But the easiest things I found that you can do in excel are that you can wrap the text, so that all your text will fit in the excel cells. I learned that excel is set up so that if your computer dies or crashes while using excel you are able to recover the data. To make your sheet more pretty, you can rotate the cells in your excel sheet by clicking the home ribbon. excel even lets you encrypt workbook with password, which basically protects your data in excel, so unauthorized people can't access it. Excel has A LOT going on, and if your good at using it, ....KUDOS to you! But learning a little more about excel was cool and i'm glad I found a video that I could use to help me prepare for my excel skill check coming soon.
These are just a couple of slides from the tutorial , file recovery and text wrapping.
if you would like to check out this tutorial and see all the other things you can do on excel, since lynda is a available to us FSU students, sign up and watch the video .

When we toured the lab last week, the technology that stood out to me was the smart pen. I thought it was so cool and I probably will invest in one. Being able to write your notes and record and go back an listen to the recording by touching the part of the special you wrote on just seemed so unreal to me. Like I was amazed. I think this technology could be very beneficial for students taking notes, because I know I have a hard time writing down all the notes when me teacher is talking to fast, so I forget half of the things mentioned in lectures. Smart pens would be great to have for studying and reviewing purposes, and taking notes. I think having this kind of technology available in schools will help students academic performance.
Bloom's Taxonomy is a pyramid that basically list the goals of education. These goal are the ability to create, evaluate, analyze, apply, understand, and remember. I think power point could be used to support student learning at each level of the pyramid because you could make a slide to explain what each goal is how to achieve that goal. Power points could be use to list examples, for example for analyze, in the power point, you could explain the definition . Following that slide you could use different creations, such as stories, and have the students practice analyzing the story on the power point slide. Power points could be used to outline each level in Blooms Taxonomy pyramid.
The website I found is called e learning industry. It provides articles and videos on the latest technology. The website also offers webinars, seminars, conferences, and various events about technology trends and e learning.

Diigo 4
What I learned about assistive technology is that there are many types designed to help accommodate for students with disabilities. These different academic software tool and assistive learning technology help students with disabilities learn in the class room, and they also encourage students to learn more. I learned that just because one assistive technology works for one students, that doesn't mean it will work for the other student. Students learn different whether they have a disability or not so we need to explore more than one tool to help the students. It may be hard a first learning how to help a student with disabilities, but that's why there are tools created to help you. I found a website with an article about how special education students benefit from technology. It motivates students individual learning. http://www.learnnc.org/lp/pages/6917

ADA makes it illegal to discriminate on basis of disabilities, teachers are required to accommodate for students with disabilities. Teachers use assistive technology, which is technology used to increase or help improve learning for students with disabilities. Examples of adaptive technology are recorded books,electronic texts, and read systems. These are adaptive technology for reading. I dont remember anyone in my high school using these kinds technology. The challenges you can have using adaptive technology is that each student will have a different disability, so just because one tool works with one student, it may not work for the other students.
........PEOPLE WHO MAKE WEBSITES MUST HAVE A LOT OF PATIENCE, OR I'M JUST IMPATIENT AND CRAZY!
I don't know how people do it. I got so stressed out over making this website. It took me forever. Im not the most etch savvy person so it took me a couple of hours to figure out how to navigate around weebly design my website. So website making isn't my favorite thing, but this did help me a lot. I know have an idea of how to create a website if I decide to ever make another one. My main problem was that I'm so used to using other technology that I have a hard time figuring out how to use new thing that I don't have experience with. This was the same thing that happened with my prezi. I had no clue what to do so I didn't like doing it. but after seeing my finished website I did feel like for someone who sucks with technology I did pretty decent. This can be used in my future career because I can make a class website and I am undecided on whether I want to teach art or kindergarten, so if i choose art this could be a start.
