So far, my experience with twitter has been very positive. It has been very easy to use and it has been cool to see a lot of educational articles and other educational related things that I would normally not look at if I was going on twitter. I have learned a lot from using twitter. For one thing, I have been up to date on news regarding education and educational technology. Another thing that I have learned is that twitter could make a unique and engaging platform to use in the classroom. There are many benefits to using twitter. One benefit is that it makes connecting with other people very easy. It also creates an interesting space to share and learn about things that you are interested in. I have not experienced any issues with twitter yet.
I learned some new skills while I was working on designing my website. On new skill that I learned is how to embed links to other websites into my website. This is useful because I could provide links to tools and resources that I thought would be helpful for parents. Another skill that I learned was how to format a web page, which can be more difficult than it seems. For the most part, designing a website was pretty easy, although there were some difficulties. I used wix to make my website and some of the templates can be tricky ti figure out how to use. Overall, I think that I will definitely use a website in my future career so that I can easily provide information and resources to both parents and students.
Assistive and adaptive technology can be used in multiple ways to support learners. They make all kinds of technology designed to support learning in general but also to support individual areas of learning. These technologies are very cool because they can help students who otherwise might not have had a chance at learning. I do not personally know anyone who has used these kinds of technology but I have seen many videos showing students who use these things. They seem like they are very useful and helpful not only to the students but to the teachers as well. One challenge that could arise with using these technologies in the classroom is other students who don't need them might become distracted by them. As these become more common, I'm sure that students will get used to having them in the classroom and this will not be an issue anymore. Overall, I think that these technologies are very cool and should be continued to be used in the classroom to support learning.
