My first thoughts using diigo were that this is complicated and unnecessary. Once I began using it more and understanding its purpose, I really started to like it. I think diigo is very beneficial for collaborative work. It helps keep you and your group or partner on the same page. You are able to highlight the same areas like you would like to emphasize so that you understand the websites and readings the same way,

I do like blogging. I think they are a modern way of doing discussion boards. I think it would be more beneficial if people read on commented on each other’s blogs to understand their different outlooks and things like that. But blogging overall helps me understand what blogging really is and to be more exposed to the internet in classroom settings.

A web 2.0 tool that I would like to use in the classroom are smartphones. The possibilities are endless for these devices. A lot can be done from a cellphone that can be done on a computer in a more modern way that applies to most students. You can write essays, participate in live activities, and much more. There is no real link to this tool.
