Blog Post #6
As a resource, I did not find myself having any particularly strong feelings about Diigo as a platform. It seemed like just another academic sharing site that could be useful for in class communication. This being said, it was pretty barebones. As a teacher, it is unlikely I would ever find myself using this resource. If given the opportunity, I would probably opt in for something much more creative, for both the well-being of the class and myself.
In regards to the question surrounding the blogging itself, I don't mind blogging, but I don't really feel like that's what this is. These blogs are directed by questions and even have minimum and maximum requirements. To treat this as anything other than an assignment would be a bit silly, and I do not think it represents the spirit of true blogging. I cannot share my feelings on topics I wish to discuss, and even if I did, I would likely relate it back to the questions being asked in the first place like I do now. As a discussion forum, this works fine.
I could find myself using Fandom in the future if I needed a good wiki resource. Fandom provides a resource with simple and easy to understand code. While it is seldom used for academic purposes, it could be modified as such. Resultantly, the class may find themselves a little more intrigued.
