Thing 1

Thing 1: About Basics 

 Pre-Assessment: 2

Post-Assessment: 3

 Logged Hours: 2

So I am a little behind, but here is part 1 of Thing 1. I copied (Ctrl C) and pasted (Ctrl v) the proficiency scale first. I then created the wavy line and underline. I then copied and pasted "I love summer!!" and used ctrl b, ctrl i, and ctrl u to format it. I have used a few of these short cuts before, but not all of them. My favorite one is the wavy line! So fun! :-)  I think a lot of it is just getting used to which keys to use. I am used to right clicking for the drop-down menu for cut, copy and paste. I am forcing myself to use these shortcuts so I will remember them and be able to use them faster. It may take me a bit to get use to all of them, but I can definitley see how it will make things faster and increase productivity.

For part 2 of Thing 1, I worked with diigo. I like it, but I definitely need a lot more practice with it. I can see where it can be extremely useful in the classroom to sort websites I use with students. I could sort them by subject area and/or levels. I could even make folders for individual students and/or groups that I work with to sort websites that way. There seems to be a lot of great things with diigo to be able to use, but it also seems a little overwhelming. I hope that throughout the school year I will be able to look into this website a little more and use it to help me organize websites.
