I also admire your openness to change. Instead of thinking about all the time it will take to learn something new or stubbornly saying your current methods are more than adequate, you notice how the new technologies build on smaller changes you have already been embracing or looking forward to. Maybe you can rub some of that positive energy off on me :).<br />I am also looking forward to exploring the features of Diigo (well when I have finished all these papers and blog posts for summer term!). I think the collaboration tools and ability to annotate web pages are awesome! Maybe I will be able to kick my printing habit now that I can annotate web pages without copy and pasting to a word document (where there is the extra headache of the formatting getting screwy).Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09875793521192078641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845514988290854829.post-43894422674336495052012-08-02T21:05:11.972-04:002012-08-02T21:05:11.972-04:00I was really intrigued by Evernote.

I want to start using Evernote; I feel it can almost be an all purpose tool. I never thought about document submission being more cloud based. However, after hearing it, it definitely seems probable. I too, love spotlight! It makes it so much easier to find things if I can't remember where I saved it. I just have to know the title.Musetta Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00452873334150748640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845514988290854829.post-84257187754519023552012-07-30T19:03:48.166-04:002012-07-30T19:03:48.166-04:00As I stated in my blog, other than Skype, it's...As I stated in my blog, other than Skype, it's all new to me. i understand the usefulness of these "applications" (? - what are they?), but haven't developed a need, yet. I think Kristin's suggestion of inviting a teacher to share his/her use of these "things" would help me better understand their potential for me.<br /><br />And Pete, I don't know how to join your group. I'm a part of this this "Down w/Diigo" group that was created by Ryan, but I don't know if that is going anywhere.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10295435823723277352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845514988290854829.post-16384254488565365452012-07-27T18:13:10.111-04:002012-07-27T18:13:10.111-04:00I also really appreciated learning about Diigo.

However, I was quite impressed with the organizational features of both Diigo and Evernote as well as the advantages they offer for collecting and integrating a wide range of digital resources.PLGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922041622582651061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845514988290854829.post-4390368352754822272012-07-27T17:17:34.021-04:002012-07-27T17:17:34.021-04:00Agree that this shows us that we are turning a cor...Agree that this shows us that we are turning a corner in how we use technology in learning environments. We hope that some alums will be able to join us again in the fall to talk about how they use Google Docs & Google Voice -- basically, all of the work is "turned in" by inviting the teacher to share the Google Doc. They tell a very compelling tale!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662491469737183823noreply@blogger.com
