Diigo can help in numerous ways. I can inform other in my class about useful information. In my opinion I think it is like social media. You can share post and articles with everyone about technology or education. People can learn and comment about a certain subject. Honestly Diigo os the best website I have learned in this class.

Powerpoints have helped me so much in my education. I have gathered a lot of notes and information. I have also learned a lot on how to further education and how to get better grade in my classes. Without powerpoints I think that it is useful in today's and future education and there is nothing that I will change about it. I has helped me personal and educationally.

In today's change in technology teachers can watch and read on how to better their teaching in class. There is not away to get behind especially with social media growing . For example, Reddit. I did my ILP on reddit and read a lot of way to become an effective teacher. Technology today is bettering itself and the education of teachers today.

I am going to be completely honest I am not a big fan of using twitter. I really do not go on social media. I know how to use it I just don't not use it at all. I guess it is the way I was raised, not allowed to use social media. It is an easy app to use but is not an attention grabber or motivating resource for me to be excited to use for school. There is nothing bad about the app. It is just a personal conflict of interest.

Doing the website design was very entertaining. I really got involved with it and became artistic in ways I never seen myself do. I have always wonder how do you create websites. This project was really enjoyable. I did mine as A 6th grade math teacher. I now know the basics of how creating a website. But I do not see myself creating one in the near future only because I am not going to be a teacher. But I can go back to it for projects or starting my own company. Here is what my homepage looks like when you open and the link.

Assistive and Adaptive technology are used to help students or individuals with learning disabilities or special needs. Not just with school but also outside of it. I have not seen a lot of people use sorts of that kind of technology. The only one I can think of is my brother using the IPAD for instructional use because of his ADHD that was hardly controllable when he was younger. I went to a small school growing up with very little classmates. The only technology we used growing up was just computer. No tablets, no IPADS, absolutely the bear minimum. But if someone was using it on the computer I did not notice it. The challenges I see is other students being distracted by the use of it. Also, other people using it and breaking something that is not theirs. These resources today are super expensive.
