New Experiences with Technology

     This was my first time using Diigo and I thought it was pretty cool. It was very simple to learn how it works. I think it's interesting you can share websites with big groups if you'd like. It would be very helpful to use in group projects and assignments. It was very convenient that you just bookmark the page and then it'd go straight to Diigo. It could be very helpful to just save websites but also be able organize them. I really like Diigo and will use it moving forward!
     Blogging honestly hasn't been as fun as I thought. Some of the prompts haven't interested me as much so it's been a little boring sometimes, but I still enjoy writing a blog. This has given me a feel of what'd it be like to keep a personal blog, something I've thought about. I think I would really enjoy keeping my own blog since I could talk about whatever I want. It's been nice looking at others' blogs and seeing their thoughts and opinions on the same topics. It's nice to see things from others' perspectives and seeing how similar or different we are.
      One Web 2.0 tool I'm new to is Wiki. I've never heard about it before or seen anyone use it, but starting my second assignment, it seems very helpful! You can create a webpage, but invite others in so you can all collaborate. This tool is very helpful getting others' opinions and input. It shows you who also worked on the webpage and what they did. People can comment to give feedback or even edit the page themselves. This tool's purpose is to help other collaborate and work together. The best outcomes occur when multiple people work together to serve a common goal and Wiki definitely helps with that. If you are interested in checking it, out here is the link to more information on Wiki, https://www.pbworks.com/wikis.html
