So far my experience with Twitter is really good. Some of my classmates put really good criticisms and websites for me to look at. I often find myself, @-ing classmates, saying how amazing the technology is that they shared and some of their articles they post. It is a great way to communicate with classmates even if you are not in class.

I really liked designing the website because it let me discuss a topic that I was interested in and also had creative license to design it the way I liked. I thought that everything was really easy for me to input like the calendar. There really was not any issues, but everything took a lot of time like any good website. I also inputted personal pictures that I took in France which was fun. https://eme2040fre.weebly.com/

I loved learning about technology that is able to help people with disabilities. I remember when I was in elementary school, I would take my free period and work with the special needs kids. They had a really cool hammock but there was not too much technology that I remembered. It is amazing how technology has evolved and how helpful it can be to children. My best friend is studying to be a teacher for the blind so I have seen some of this technology like the braille typewriter. I can definitely see students working with it. It is so amazing.

    I really liked your website. Your contrast between the many pictures and labels on them was very good. I could clearly see how the picture related along with still being able to see the words. Repetition was used but maybe next time use different fonts or colors so that with the repetition you page stands out. Alignment was good and i could tell you worked hard on making this website. Proximity was also done well, so your website passed CRAP.

I don't normally see public schools that have teacher resources out publicly. When teachers post inside of websites such as canvas where it is more catered to you, then they post resources. If there is something public, it would just give the basic information about how to contact the person. An example of this is the website for my mom's school. When you open up the faculty page it just provides teachers emails. However, there is a section for different grade levels, and it explains what they will learn by the time they graduate from that grade and what tools they incorporate. This is the website I used: http://www.cks-school.org/academics/ec4.cfm I can definitely use technology to help my students out. I feel that computer labs would be very beneficial for students to have so they can learn how to type. In my computer class, we had covers for the keys so we could try to memorize where the keys were. On top of that, we had a mini quiz/ fun activity to see how fast...

I really like that you can make comments on other people's comments. It was very difficult trying to find out who commented back on your post, but by highlighting and emphasizing something important that they say makes it easier for people to see. Overall Diigo is a great website. You can share multiple resources with your classmates and your teachers. You can share with either classmates, teammates or professionals some sources that you found if you are working on group projects and people can comment on some information that they can use for the project or whatever you wanted to use Diigo for. It is a great way to share information and similar websites that people can check out. There are 6 major points of Bloom's taxonomy. They are: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. For powerpoint, it is good to remember some notes or important points that you would want to incorporate in your powerpoint lesson. It can also help with understanding because the more...
