Week 3- Diggo and Scoop it

John Evans was the presenter that we had come in this week that first introduced us to maple, which is a Manitoba professional learning environment for teachers. I like this program for the fact that you can join a group and get ideas on a certain subject that you may be teaching, as well as share ideas within the group. John talked about the idea of professional development and how teachers are always attending PD's that you travel to and sit and learn for hours on end. He than mentioned the idea that we are constantly upgrading our professional develop through the resources that we have right in from of us such as twitter, you tube, Diggo and scoop it, just to name a few. I think that as teachers we are always learning something new and we push ourselves to attend professional development, or to have it come to us in order to stay on top of our learning and I think the fact that the resources that are online are considered PD opportunity is great. John also introduced us to a resource online called Diggo, which allows you to find article and write ups that you know are good because many people have read them and approved of them. Its a great tool that allows you to access accurate information quickly. Scoop it was another tool that was introduced to us, and between Diggo and Scoop it, I liked Diggo better.  I found Diggo easier to navigate and the overall liked the layout of it better. Did anyone else prefer one over the other?
