I think Diigo is an awesome tool to use in a classroom. It would probably be most beneficial for 6th-12th grade students, but 4th and 5th grade could benefit from it as well. I think annotating is one of the most useful learning skills. In my experience, I process what I'm reading best when I'm taking notes. I haven't used Diigo enough to have any issues with it; it's easy to use and great for learning. 

So far, I've enjoyed the blogging process. I enjoy writing and it's one of my preferred ways to apply what I've learned. The only critique I have with the blogging in this class is I don't really feel like I'm blogging- I just feel like I'm answering questions. I think if there was more creativity I would enjoy it more. However, I do enjoy using the google blogs. I think it's an effective website to create a put together blog.

I think TikTok could be a great platform to use in a high school classroom with the right resources. If not every student had access to the app, I would put them in groups. The assignments could involve using prompts and allowing them to have fun with it. I would also add a competition element to it to see which group gets the most engagement.

These questions would relate to class material as well as how they're doing personally. There would be an option to make the submission anonymous or share their name. I honestly think this is important for every subject and grade level, but I want to teach high school English so I would relate it to the course.  From looking at the classroom blogs, I enjoyed seeing everyone's assignments, such as the website design and the newsletter. It was fun seeing how creative everyone was. These were helpful to see as I got a lot of ideas from them. I think it was a good idea to allow students to interact with different blogs and learn from them.  I got the tech flex badge for having a teacher bio on my blog. Funny enough, I didn't write this bio for this class. I also use blogger for a professional portfol
