Blog Journal 7
So far, Twitter has allowed me to discover professional pages of people and places that promote educational technology. I have had the opportunity to communicate electronically with my classmates, as well as complete challenges! I have learned how to successfully retweet others' tweets and give them credit as well. There are so many benefits to using Twitter, but I'd say the greatest benefit is the amount of knowledge and perspective one may gain from using this site and connecting with others through our similarities and differences. Thankfully, I have fortunately not experienced any issues while using Twitter.
From working on the Web Design, I learned how to successfully create a classroom based on what I feel comfortable teaching a class. I was able to learn creativity at the most part. Students want to see a page full of color and easy-to-read information, and I feel I have done this very well. I coordinated the colors in my theme and made the pages legible for prospective 4th graders to read. I truly enjoyed using Weebly.

Adaptive and Assistive Technologies are so prevalent even though we do not know they are. Adaptive technologies such as closed captioning programs are ones I use on a daily basis. I do not watch a show without subtitles and this is helpful for the public. Teachers are more able to help students instead of lecturing for the entire class. Assistive technologies such as Draft:Builder helps students in the writing process and allows them to use spell-check, as well as developing their essay. Using adaptive technologies in the classroom may lead students to believe that the teacher does not need to teach for them to learn, but there is a reason they are called adaptive technologies, and that is because they have to learn how to use them. It is an important learning resource having these types of technologies to help us in the classroom or in everyday life, but we should not rely on them if need be.
