Understanding
the Impact of Technology on Education, Work and Society

What was your
experience collaborating with this tool?
- I found using the diigo tool/app
was easy. After downloading the extension to my Google Chrome browser, it was a matter of a click to save it to my page in diigo.com. As a
group, we shared and saved blog links to various required topics. Keeping track of what has been posted/shared to our group page is easy to see.
There is an option to download a csv file. This file contains the Title, URL,
Tags, Description, Annotation, Comment and the handle for the poster. I find this very helpful for keeping track of postings.
·
What went well?
- I have used diigo before while
attending the University of Missouri at St. Louis, much like this course.
There was a whole class group that we saved links to educational resources for teaching Social Studies.
I no longer have access to that group though. It was deleted when the course was over.
- What went well this time was the
ease of use. Once I added the extension, I was able to save pages of interest. After saving them (the links) I was
able to go to my Library and tag the links I saved.
·
What insights
did you gain about social bookmarking?
- Insights from social bookmarking
are that it can get out of control.
I am wondering if there is a took much is too much situation when
saving links of use? Working
towards the future, I would like to become better organized in the saving
format.
·
What did you
learn from this experience that will inform how you teach your students to use
social bookmarking for the first time?
- What I have learned from this
experience is the need for organization.
Learning to set up tags that will be making saving and retrieving more efficient and easier is going to be essential. I will share this information with my students as well. The advice I
will give them will be to make a primary tag for the subject, then tag the saved item in a way that they will remember. I will also let them know that going back to the saved searches and changing, deleting and adding is okay. This is one time that using the internet and 21st Century technology to save and share is okay that it is permanent.
·
What is at least one idea
for using social bookmarking in your classroom?
- One idea for using social
bookmarking in my classroom would be for study resources. In this form, students can share their
quality sources to help themselves and their classmates when studying for
exams.
·
How might it
prepare your students for college and career readiness in the 21st-Century
world?
- By learning to share in this
manner it could help students that are long-distance learners, such as our situation in this course. It
could prepare students for the virtual jobs they could be working in
their futures. Social bookmarking
will allow them to interact with coworkers and classmates in a real-time
format, but also allow them to not have to respond in real-time.
- When working on a presentation in
our 21st Century technology world it will be important to find
all the viable and accurate sources possible to complete projects. This is one way of brainstorming ideas
as a group without being all at the same table. It allows the midnight thought to be shared,
without waking up someone. It also
transcends time zones. If you have
a project that is being worked over time zones and over continents,
social bookmarking will allow searches to be shared easily.
·
Support your
response with a reference to at
least one peer-reviewed
journal article, either from your content area or the educational field, and an
explanation as to how its use relates to at least one of
the RWRCOEL Technology Proficiencies.
- One site that was shared is https://www.editme.com/ in my social
bookmarking Group 3. Now, this site is a site you must pay for to be a full member. This could be a very valuable site for any school that is willing to purchase a membership for its staff. On here you share your lesson plans.
This is a valuable resource for
teachers, new and experienced. Often, we
are presented with new information and curriculum to put into effect in our
classrooms. As educators, there are so many demands placed on us that when we must
write a completely new curriculum lesson plan, we could use some help. Using a site like this will keep us from
having to reinvent the wheel each time.
Instead, we can find support from other teachers that have used the
lesson plan and follow their advice and notes on how to make the lesson our
own. Taylor it to our needs.
Using this wiki or a site like it would relate to item 3 in
the RWRCOEL Technology Proficiencies; Communication and Collaboration:
Candidates use digital media tools in communicating and working collaboratively
with students, families, colleagues, and community stakeholders to improve
and/or enhance student learning.
·
How does this
experience meet at least one ISTE Standard for Teachers and one ISTE
Standard for Students?
I feel that this experience meets ISTE Standard for
Teachers # 4 Collaborator:
Educators dedicate time to collaborate with both colleagues and
students to improve practice, discover and share resources and ideas, and solve
problems. For students, #6 Creative
Communicator: Students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively
for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats and
digital media appropriate to their goals.
