Blog Journal #5

This class is my first exposure to Diigo, but it slightly reminds me of Pinterest. I don't really like Diigo, but that will probably change ever time as I develop more of a need and use for it. I think it could be more user friendly, and designed in a more pleasant way. The way it is structured is just a bit harsh to me, and is really industrial.

I was excited to know that we would be blogging in this class. I was actually considering making a personal blog recently, but was unsure about it. I really enjoy the structure around what we need to post, and I like that Ms. Ginny gives us an opportunity to be personal as well as complete the assignment. The only part I struggle with is when we have to comment in class, but that's more so because I just never know what to say, haha. Another thing I struggle with is the formatting though, it always comes out weird. 

Pinterest is a Web 2.0 tool I think I would use a lot while teaching. I think it could be considered a social bookmarking tool, like Diigo. I know a lot of teachers currently use Pinterest, also. I like it because you can sort different pages, that you "pin" to your personal account. It also allows you to view and follow others that have the same interests as you, but it's not a "social media" type exchange like on Facebook or Instagram, it's more of an idea exchange.
