Using Diigo was an okay experience. It was different because I do not really use my computer for work. I like to write my notes & annotate on paper. Overall the tool was easy to navigate. It was also very simple to use. Anyone could get the hang of it within minutes. I do not like the online aspect of it but to like the highlighting. I would never use it again though. Blogging is something different. It is just giving your opinions & experience. I do like that about it. It is nice to read everyones opinions & get feedback to your thoughts. It is fun to stay in touch with people with a related topic. I have not learned anything from the process though. It is all really what I knew about it and what I thought it would be. A Web 2.0 tool I would use in the classroom would be youtube. I think their is a lot of material on that site. A lot can of it can really make learning fun and interesting. It is also very convenient when searching for content. It also covers a lot of different videos and they all differ. You have some that are artsy, bland, & some very cartoon like. I think that tool is the one that is the best & I would recommend it to everyone & use it a lot. Youtube.com

ILP "Participation"- Technology Showcase

Image
I visited the Technology Showcase before class and it was a great learning experience. I had a hands on experience with the different types of technologies used in our schools today. I got to use the three different types of smart boards. I used AR and VR. Those were very neat because I have never used them before and it was a new experience. I did get a little motion sick from it though. I also used the robots that are very helpful for the ones learning experience. They have a robot that records video and sound of instruction. They even have an IPad that gives you the ability to incorporate learning with different games. My activity notes: The equipment is very fancy and seem very expensive. I like the white board that plays games. It would keep the kids interested with learning. But if it was for high school kids the normal white boards would probably work best. Or with older kids, I would use the VR and AR. I think they would enjoy that more and it would be more practical. Also,...

Initial Blog Post (Post #0)

My name is Logan Brown. I am from Jacksonville, Florida. I am a die hard FSU sports fan. I also am a big Jaguars fan. I love sports, animals, and food. A day in my life is pretty busy during the week. I work two jobs and a full time student. I am gone non stop until  the weekend. I love the weekends because I do not have work so I am able to relax and focus on some school work. But when it comes to the school work, I am such a good procrastinator! Oh and I LOVE to spend money, I am pretty good at that too. In the past I have not used too much technology. I am from the west side of Jacksonville so the funding was not that good. I am just used to white boards and some projectors. I have visited the sandbox here and it is very neat. All the educational technology is amazing and is making learning more fun that what it used to be. I wish I was taught with it because I feel as if I would have paid a little more attention to it throughout my learning. I hope to learn all the new gadget...

Persanolly I am not a fan of the flipped classroom. To me that type of classroom is far away from the traditional style that most everyone knows today. In the flipped style you kind of help yourself and others learn the material. You can do the learning on your own. Once you do the learning you come and explain what you know. This gives the teacher a way to make sure you have learned the correct material. It will also include more activities. I do not think this style is for everyone though. OERs are to help people learn but with out the nuisance of spending money all different types of resources. OERs give you a way to get some education resource from all over. From the site I was on they explain many types of OERs. They also give out resources for anyone to use. They organize the material as courses. The material is also for higher education. They give out wanted information for the ones who are in universities and beyond. I find it very helpful because I learn more on OERS and see...
