Week 6

In looking for websites to bookmark with Diigo, I looked at what other teachers were using and bookmarked many of those same sites. Additionally, I used google as well as sites I already new about to create a collection of strong reference material on colonial America. Looking through all the resources and evaluating what was a good resource took a long time, but I am happy with the outcome.

Over my year and a half in the college of education, I used Google Drive to collect and store all of my information that I would like to use in my classroom. I have PDF scans of books I read in my history classes here at AU, I have notes from classes in high school and college, and I have pictures pulled off the internet. Google drive is great because it can house things that I create or that anyone else creates. I have a document with links to websites that I will use in my classroom.


Because of the variability in using Google Drive, I will continue to use this program for knowledge management in the future. I can access any of my files from any of my devices. Unlike Diigo, I can access pictures and files without use of the internet, which is important considering I do not have internet access at home. Diigo is a great way for me to find new resources, but I will probably not use it as my main place to store information. The fact that I can automatically sink all of the information directly to all of my devices and then access it on the internet when needed makes Google Drive much more efficient..
