 When I first started to use Diigo I was confused with the layout and interactive component. The website also seemed to be very outdated design wise. It looked to be a website you would see in the late 90's or early 2000's, not so much in 2022. However, I did enjoy the aspect where you could highlight and comment on other websites then automatically share it with your Diigo group. But that also took a number of steps in order to be able to achieve that. Therefore, it was not a horrible website, but I feel that there are better ones out there. 

In regard to blogging, Ive actually really enjoyed my experiences with it so far. I feel that it's a great source for seeing other perspectives on the same topics. I like how easy it is to update posts or edit previous ones. The only complaint I would have is that the layout of the blog posts look different on the actual blog compared to when I'm creating it, so I usually have to go back and edit things like the indents. So far Ive learned how to add things such as links and images as well as create a professional layout through blogging. 

An interesting Web 2.0 tool that can be useful for teaching is Instagram. Instagram is a social media app that is made for sharing photos and videos. In the teaching perspective, I could use Instagram as a way to announce things for the week. This Web 2.0 tool also allows anyone to comment on the posts, so they can give their feedback to the teacher. It can also allow students to post their own work on their own feeds as well as allow the teacher to repost it onto the class Instagram story. http://www.instagram.com/

A copyright is made in order to protect one's original work, and fair use is when copyrighted work can be used without needing permission or having to pay for it when the work follows the four types of criteria: the purpose of use, the nature of the work, the amount of the use, as well as the effect of the use. As a teacher I would make sure that everything I use while teaching is properly cited to the creator. When it comes to developing my own instructional materials, I would definitely take inspiration from public websites, but I would make sure to add my own individual thoughts to the sampled material. I would also make sure that my students are able to create their own original thoughts by doing activities such as summarizing stories in their own words, or creating their own stories. This is so they can differentiate between what would be copying and what would be original work.  Academic dishonesty and decreased productivity are major problems for today's teachers. In ord

 I didn't start using Microsoft Word until around 5th grade. At first I was very confused on how to use it, but my school had a computer class for us in order to go step by step to learn how to use the software. However, whenever Google Docs came out all of my teachers had me switch to that software because, unlike Word at the time, Google Docs automatically saved everything you did. Now Microsoft Word also automatically saves everything, but I am so used to using google Docs now that it's hard to work in the Microsoft format. I also like the layout better of Google Docs because you can visually see all of your files instead of having to go through many steps to find one like in Word.  The ISTE standard for teaching are all very essential and useful for teachers. The standard that seems to be the most meaningful to me is the "Citizen" one. This standard allows teachers to teach their students the more real-world abilities when it comes to technology. This includes thi
