Challenges

Diigo was difficult for me to figure out. I’m not sure how I would really be able to use it as often. For a visual person, this was a little more difficult to find a “flow”; however, I can see how it may be helpful for some people.

Challenges

Twitter was a challenge for me. I have never used it in the past, and was not too sure about using it for educational purposes. I can see how it might be helpful for collaborating with others in the field of education though.

Moodle/ Online learningThis was one of several online courses for me, and each time I am impressed with how many practical lessons I learn. I am thankful for the flexibility in working during the hours that I can as a working mom. This course challenged me to try new resources as well as re-visit some I have tried out in the past. It was great!
