Working with Diigo, I learned first the existence of such software, and then how useful the program can be to anybody in the professional world. Out of all the skills I learned using Diigo the biggest skills I took away were the highlight/sticky note tool and how to share my annotations with a selected group. These annotating tools alongside the sharable feature of Diigo make it very valuable when a team is trying to do research, allowing such a team to conduct their research on their own at their own pace while contributing to the collective whole of the team strikes me as very valuable. I can also see the usefulness of this application in a conference setting, so that each member of the conference could view each other's annotations while also contributing their own at the same time. This would cut down on someone oversharing their own notes at the expense of another's having to underscore due to limited time and a single computer to annotate on.
The way I would make a powerpoint for a lesson to cover all the levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, which are cognitive, affective, and sensory, would be by using different aspects of the powerpoint and the different tools it provides. To satisfy the cognitive domain would be relatively straightforward, as I would put all the most pertinent information on the slides. To satisfy the affective domain, which deals with how people react emotionally, I would use animations and graphics, preferably humorous ones, in order to give a sense of lightness to the lesson so that students are thinking in a positive manner about the information, after all, it truly is what you think you can do that gives you the ability to do it. Lastly, to cover the sensory domain, I would make the slides aesthetically pleasing and attention-grabbing by (tastefully) using transitions, animations, and positive attention-grabbing color combinations.
It is true that teachers are often expected to be able to get up and run with the constant stream of new technology in the classroom (metaphorically speaking). One way teachers could stay ahead of the curve, or at the very least able to anticipate the curve, is through web publications. The web publication I chose as an example is from Forbes.com. I chose so because Forbes is a reputable publication that is large enough to be adequately staffed to keep up with the dynamic industry of new technology and report on it. Forbes also has a very financial focus as well, which means teachers would be reading about technology that is legitimate and reasonably can be expected to appear on the market, rather than a website that explores the potential of future technologies, which may lead to getting worked up over perceived future technology that has a high chance on never becoming relevant.
