Diigo Annotation activity response

I found the Diigo annotation activity quite helpful. As a teacher, it will be important to know how to electronically annotate students documents, as many of the documents students submit will probably be electronic, meaning that if I need to critique or comment their work, I will need to do it electronically too.

I found the article that I read interesting and helpful. It discussed the most engaging ways for teachers to teach their students, and concluded that podcasts with text to go along with it was the best to keep students engaged. This rang true, as I find that I learn best when I hear the words and see them as well. Graphics to go along with this can be quite helpful too. Generally, when mixing senses, I think we have a better chance of remembering what it is we are being taught. When I become a teacher, I may record my voice and write about what we did in class in order for my students to be able to review for test prep when they go home. Instead of jamming it into their brains with hours of homework, I can do it with a recording of my voice along with a written review of the material so they can listen to and reread the material as many times as it takes until they feel comfortable.
