Blog Post # 7

In the past 10 years technology for students with learning disabilities have advanced immensely. For students with ADD, ADHD, OCD, etc. Technology such as audio players and recorders for students who need to listen to their readings and lectures instead of just looking at thee. Also the cushion is the seats that they sit in have  been proven to help students pay better attention to what they are learning. I have friends with ADHD  and they often just listen to their lectures from class instead of writing them because its easier for them to remember and they actually understand what they are being taught. 

Making the website was a fun assignment to do because it allowed me to be creative and out some things i have learned in class to use. I did not like the steps I had to take to actually finish the website it was a lot to do but I learned a lot from it and i will definitely be using what i learned from this assignment in the future. Next time i will do the assignment early so i can really customize it the way I want to.

I have learned a lot from from Diigo and i think it makes a lot of things easier especially with school work. I buy a lot of my textbooks online so when I read a lot of the time I forget some of the material that I have read and with Diigo it is easy to to go back and highlight and put a sticky note by the information that is  important. Also when you have a class based solely off of the book and there are big exams like finals and midterms you will be able to go back in the book and know exactly where everything is because it is highlighted. This can be very helpful because most times when I am studying for a major exam I am forced to reread material that I have already read. I will definitely be using Diigo from now on.
