This week we created a Google Survey and had to organize the results into a PowerPoint presentation with the results and why we thought the survey was important. The standard met this week was in the category of Model Digital-Age Work and Learning, the sub-standard being "collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation."
This standard was met because my parents, peers, and students in my class helped me by taking my survey for class and it helped in my success and bettered my learning. I worked with Google Docs to create a survey and I think it definitely will help me in the classroom because I could use it as a tool to learn more about my students at the beginning of the year. Also my students could create surveys based on topics that interest them in a certain subject matter. This type of survey-style learning could be used in so many ways I could go on for days.
Another site we learned about this week was Diigo. At first I thought Diigo would just create more work for me and that I wouldn't find the site resourceful, but then when I actually started using it I realized how great it was! All you have to do when you find a great site is click the "Diigolet" button in bookmark toolbar and then you can start highlighting, making post-it notes, and bookmarking the article on your Diigo site. This can be something private on your Diigo, like for a school projects research, or public, like on the groups we are using for our class. Many groups can be created on the site and it makes collaborating very easy. I could see this being a great tool for students in my future classroom because they would be able to only read what other people highlighted or their comments if they wanted so that they got the jist of the article.
