Diigo Social Bookmarking Response

This week's in-class activity really helped me improve my understanding of how to apply different Web 2.0 tools. I didn't think that Diigo would offer much promise to educators or classroom application, but this week's activity showed the possibilities. I didn't think that simple sharing was enough, so to be able to interact with the website and others on the website is invaluable to personalizing learning, which can really help students. Also, the possibilities of sharing valuable information with fellow instructors is an extremely useful tool for a teacher, as it allows them to improve their teaching based off of how others teach. This is not solely applied to Diigo, however, as all Web 2.0 applications can offer these extremely useful tools.

Adaptive Technology for Diverse Learners

While working individually, I found a very interesting article on screen readers. I have heard of screen readers before, but I ever knew the logistics of how they worked or the different styles offered; however, after today I found out that there are two types, verbal and Braille, and they adapt to a number of different processing programs. Also, I learned that they can also vary for different languages and translate a screen's content to the language of the user. When watching the presentations, I learned about the different strategies for teaching exceptional students. In my presentation, I learned about devices used for students with visual and motor disabilities, like StickyKeys function. From other presentations, I learned about how technology can help gifted students work at their own pace while still being part of the class. After looking at the different Diigo bookmarks, I discovered many applications to accommodate students, including Audible and Go Play for audio books.
