1) After listening to the podcast I decided to research Diigo and found it very interesting. I ended up downloading it and I have already found it very useful. I like the highlighting tool it has and the screenshot tool. I have used these a couple times already. As you can see I have also incorporated into this blog by highlighting this first paragraph.
I will be incorporating this in my classroom whenever possible. It is a very useful tool to use when I need to highlight an article to use in class, or to add a sticky note to this page. I think that by incorporating this in my classroom, I will be encouraging technology use like this in the students' homes as well.
2) I think that the Wikis and Twitter are very useful Web 2.0 tools for the K-12 classrooms. According to the podcasts, Wikis are very useful for researching and adding your own information to a specific wiki page. The podcast also mentions that by incorporating Twitter in the classroom, it will be a very useful way for the students to follow researchers and educators and tweet to them in hopes of getting a response. This interactive tool will be very useful in the K-12 classrooms.
3) The skills I acquired from the Web Hunt are very useful. I learned in order to find desired information quickly and efficiently, use just the key words in the search bar. I liked the pressure to find the desired information as quickly and efficiently as possible. The limited time made us work faster. I didn't not like anything in particular about the assignment. Next time, I will work faster to try to gain my information quicker. I think this information could be used in my future career because it allows me to find desired information as quickly as possible.
