Week 4 Thing 10 and 11

   There is quite a lot to explore on Diigo.  I think that this tool could be used for helping students explore web pages or doing research on assigned web pages.  You could easily place questions for students to think about within the text using the post its.  You could also draw student's attention to something you really want them to focus on by highlighting it. 
   This is a great networking tool for teachers because you can follow people.  So you can see what teachers in your same content area are researching and where they are researching.  This could be a very useful tool in the classroom and can really help you to organize your information so you do not have to go back to multiple pages looking for one fact.

  Wordle and Tagxedo would be great tools to use when teaching students to describe art work.  I made a word cloud in wordle that used texture words.  I made a word cloud in tagxedo that used the Colorado Art Standards as written on the CAEA website.  These are great creative ways to display writing and would be great for list poems.
