Hey!
Now having being acquainted with Diigo I discovered a new way of saving useful information and viewing at a later date. The benefits with Diigo as a book mark is that I have the ability to access the wanted website at any device of my choice such as my Iphone, my laptop or my friends computers. The tools, tagging and description is helpful because it reminds me briefly before viewing the content of the website what the website is about. I find this website very resourceful and user friendly. These tools will help my education in various ways, one being when I am writing an essay for one of my classes I can bookmark important websites that I want to cite and use information to write my essays. Also I can locate the websites I need from any computer, so if I have to write my essay in the fishbowl at Brock instead of at home on my laptop, I will still be able to find the websites I want with Diigo.
Valid and reliable book marks contribute to my work in building knowledge in quite a few ways. One being that I am able to save creditable websites and view at any giving time. This will help because I can have a large amount of websites on many different topics at my disposal. So if I am able to view such quality websites at any given place.
The curation tool I got accustom with was Google Alert and I find that it was a resourceful tool as well as extremely informative. The tool updates its users with information that is not even circulated in social media, giving its users new updated information before it is even released to the general public. These tools can enhance my personal learning environment with added new information in various categories such as news, sports, science, health just naming a few. I feel it is important to be knowledgeable any much more than what we study in school for our majors and in week two it challenged us to think about what we want to do in 5 to 10 years. Having a wide spectrum of knowledge will help make that choice easier because it will allow us to know what we like and dislike.
I am broadening my digital literacy, since the beginning of the class I been learning so many new and interesting things that the internet has to offer. This class has been helping my digital skills in learning how specific sites operate and revealing sites that are abundant in knowledge. Being able to connect knowledge from my Google feeder to my learning is beneficial because I am learning things that I may of never came across. Or as I mentioned in my forum events that I may have missed for example the Super bowl, I am caught up with.
