       I actually enjoyed designing the website a lot more than I expected. I was kind of dreading it at first, but honestly after I got started on it I realized I was lowkey enjoying it. It wasn't hard at all, just a little time consuming. I did learning a lot from this assignment, I mean I have never made a website before so just making it and getting used to everything was new for me. I think I'll definitely have to make a website in for a future class, so I think this really helped me out in terms of things to include, how to navigate it, and hw to make it look pleasing. Here's a link to my website  :)     So far, working with Diigo hasn't been that complicated. It has been decently easy to navigate and use when posting to the group. However, I just learned how to annotate and highlight an article using the Diigo extension. At first that part was very hard for me to understand, but that was only because I thought I had the extension downloaded...

     While I was looking at school websites and teacher pages, I found Astoria Park Elementary School . A lot of teacher websites have about the same information. Most of it is simple "Looking forward to this school year!" introductions. Almost all of these websites do have either a students resource page, any material needed, important documents, or even an assignments tab, making the pages easy to look through and find any need information. Also a lot of the pages have cute pictures on the welcome tabs, so they definitely grab your attention.     I think I am going to use technology a lot to make my professional responsibilities more efficient. I will definitely be using websites like Word, PowerPoint, Google Classroom, and Trello. Through all of these websites, I will be able to communicate with my students and peers more effectively. I will also be able to share more information about class and what is going to be able to make everything run smoother.  ...

      Honestly, so far using Diigo has been kind of stressful. At first it was not very confusing, and after watching the tutorials I was able to catch on pretty fast. However, last night I was working one of the portfolio items where you had to bookmark an article and then annotate it through Diigo. Even after watching the tutorials and looking it up, I could not figure out how to annotate the article I bookmarked. It literally took me 45 minutes just to realize all I had to do was download the chrome extension that I thought I already downloaded. Anyways it was a stressful time for me because I thought I just wouldn't be able to do the project; thankfully its done and now I know how to use the website.     So far I like blogging a lot more than I thought I would. At first I would dread having to write anything and kind of procrastinate these assignments, but I realized this is not something I should be stressing over. Especially because everyone in this class ...
