The document discusses the author's experience using various social media and collaboration tools for educational purposes. Diigo was found to be the most useful tool for bookmarking and tagging websites and PDFs to organize resources for teaching different subjects. The author had success using Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Twitter to connect with other educators and find new educational ideas. Creating videos on Animoto was also an engaging activity. The main challenge was difficulty following other educators on Diigo due to the author's student profile setting. Moodle courses were found to be easy to navigate but could be improved by displaying course dates on the main page.

9. ChallengesDiigo...The tool I found most useful was also
my biggest challenge.

to navigate. I like
the navigation bar on
the side and at the
top.
I have learned a lot

CCIU courses on

I wish the course dates
were included on the
main page of the
