Web 2.0?!

    Gone are the days of traditional chalkboards and memorization; enter the era of interactive, collaborative, and dynamic learning experiences facilitated by Web 2.0 technologies. From social media platforms to cloud-based classrooms, these tools offer unparalleled opportunities to engage students, foster creativity, and cultivate critical thinking skills. Join us today on the 24/7 blog trap spot as we embark on yet another journey into the rapidly evolving world of education and transformative potential of Web 2.0 tools.

Diigo is used to organize shared online resources with many features like its bookmarking and annotation. Diigo transformed my approach to online research and collaboration as a student. Its bookmarking feature allowed me to easily organize and access relevant resources for my assignments. The annotation tool encouraged me to engage with course materials by highlighting key points and adding personal insights. Additionally, joining collaborative groups enabled me to exchange ideas and collaborate with peers, enriching my learning experience.

Blogging is a fairly new experience that I have come to enjoy every Saturday. Although I have no real viewers I enjoy the creativity I am allowed to put into it and the jokes or realness in my intro symbolizes who I am as in individual. Blogging takes time because I usually have to do research on my topic before writing about it and make sure I have provided at least some context as to what my topic is of the week. Although I am doing this for class I have considered writing a blog for my personal reflection/ memoir think of it like the show Awkward where Jenna writes about her entire life under an alias.

An intriguing Web 2.0 tool I might use for teaching is Padlet. I was recently exposed to Padlet in my Educational Technologies class and it is a versatile digital canvas that allows users to create collaborative boards where they can add various types of content, such as text, images, videos, and documents. As a teacher I can utilize Padlet to foster interactive discussions, brainstorming sessions, and group projects in a visually engaging format. Its accessible interface and customization options make it suitable for all age groups and subjects. With Padlet, educators can facilitate dynamic and participatory learning experiences both in the classroom and remotely. Check it out: Padlet

Blog 8: Webpage Design ft. AI

Website:  Welcome back to another 24/7 trap blog post where today we will be discussing the ever-evolving world of technology and education, I've recently embarked on a journey that has not only broadened my skill set but also deepened my understanding of the association between design and functionality. Working on this web design assignment for class has equipped me with invaluable skills that I can carry forward in my career. Through this project, I delved into various design principles such as simplicity, consistency, and visual hierarchy. (The webpage you're viewing was created by me but I blog under a Pseudonym : Michelle Pourier)  For example, on my website, I strategically employed Color Theory in crafting my "About Me" flyer located under the " About Me " tab. Pastel colors were deliberately chosen to evoke specific emotions aligned with the atmosphere I aimed to create for students and families visiting my webpage. These hues, often associated with

My take on Digital Natives

  Blog Post 2:  My experience:  In my experience through K-12 words didn't become a thing to learn until middle school. In the elementary school I attended we wrote our essays old school...that's right paper and pencil. When I went to sixth grade that's when Word became more available the school district I was in provided all of their students with a free Office 365 subscription. This meant we were provided with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, note, outlook, etc. The first time I used Microsoft was to create a brochure for my sixth-grade literature class. The brochure had to be based on the different settings from the book "The Westing Game" that we were reading. Now that I am in college I use many word-processing apps such as Grammarly and Google Docs. I prefer to use Grammarly to help me with punctuation, wordy sentences, and other improvements in my writing then I paste that into Google Docs because they are better at catching my citation errors than Grammarly is.  Ag
