I had not used Diigo before this class and I love it! The extension within the browser is really helpful and organizational because it can keep your educational and social bookmarks separated, if you were to keep all school related bookmarks in Diigo. In this way, it can be a great tool to use individually On top of this, it is a great way to promote student interaction of ideas. Classroom wise, this can be great for viewing your students and peers overall findings. I also like how it can bookmark and post the same website multiple times because it is then easy to see which website most students found helpful.
One thing that is so great about PowerPoint In is that it can appeal to both visual and audio learning. In this way, it can definitely appeal to all levels of bloom's taxonomy. When it comes to creating, this can include the fact that you as a teacher can utilize color and effective visuals that appeal to a student's creative side or even have students create a PowerPoint as an assignment. Having students give presentations can really help them commit what they are presenting to memory. Because of this, creating is what then can lead to all the rest of the steps.
Teachers are definitely viewed as responsible for what technologies and in what ways they are utilized in the classroom. This ties directly to professional development because teachers should always view themselves as learners when it comes to adapting to new curriculum. This goes hand in and with new technology that makes teaching and managing this curriculum more efficient. This website doesn't necessarily list specific tools, however a really insightful approach of what to do with the new technologies and professional development tools teachers are constantly facing.
