 Welcome back!     School websites are a vital resource to the students and parents within any district. However, the practice of individual teacher pages holding class information is not something familiar to me. My high school did not have this and still does not, on its website. Looking at the Leon High School website, there is a lot more class information than I expected. I specifically pulled up Mercedes Holly's Spanish I and II class website. She has posted the syllabus, notes, a calendar, and more for the visitors of her site. I also looked at Marcia Cone's Algebra I class website, which has not been updated since 2015. There were no resources readily available for visitors to the site. The difference between the two pages was astonishing. Overall, I believe that websites like Holly's can prove very helpful to parents and students, as long as they are updated and are not the only space for class resources.  Mercedes Holly's site: https://www.leonschools.net/Page/

Being able to share websites and articles and other media with a group of peers is very valuable to academics and teachers. The only thing I would argue that is somewhat challenging is the layout. It is not very streamlined, however it is fairly easy to view. Overall, I would continue using Diigo and even employ it within a classroom of my own.     I thoroughly enjoy blogging.

I think that both the process and the software is very well established for students. Having prompts and using Blogger makes it very easy and enjoyable to complete the blogging assignments. I have learned that by putting my thoughts into words, I can understand what I want to convey and how to convey it i
