Blog Journal #7

     My experience with Twitter so far has been positive. I really enjoy the app and it is very easy to use. I have learned new forms of communication with my academic peers as well as up and coming technology that can be used in a classroom setting. There are many benefits for Twitter; such as easy and fast communication, access to news and other important information, as well as entertainment. So far I have not experienced any issues with Twitter as I have been using it for years and know how the app works.
     I enjoyed the web design assignment as it allows me to be creative. I know I will probably create my own website when I become a teacher to keep all my announcements and events in order as young children tend to forget or lose paper announcements. I really liked this assignment as I know I will use this in the future. Next time I want to make it more esthetically pleasing and easier to access and use. Overall I think this was a great assignment. http://graysonhefner.weebly.com/
     Assistive and adaptive technology is used in the classroom for anyone who has a disability or learning problem. It can be anything from a piece of cardboard to a smart computer. It is designed to help students learn material in a new way that they can understand. I have used assistive technology as it could be anything assistive. I have used special learning programs to help me learn math and typing, both I was not great at, that really helped me learn and now I can type without looking and accomplish math problems I never knew I could. My brother also has used assistive technology as he is dyslexic and needed new forms of skills and tools to help him to learn how to read with his disability. Some challenges in the classroom would be when to integrate the technology and with whom.
