So far, my experience on twitter has not been the most exciting. I have not found my space with twitter yet, meaning I just do not like it. I usually forget to visit my twitter account, mostly because I do not have the app on my phone, and when I do remember I tend to become confused and get lost. 

A couple of weeks ago, we had an assignment in EME2040 that asked us to create a web page for a fictional class. I chose to create a website for a fourth grade class. I included a school calendar, a class calendar, blog posts/class announcements, and links to other educational websites. I liked using weebly to create my website. Although I felt the work was tedious, I enjoyed the ease of creating a site on a page with a helpful template. 
Next time, I will try to make the font easier to read. I noticed that the first page of the website is tricky to read because the background and the white font clashes. I will definitely use websites like this in the future when I am a teacher, so I think creating this was helpful practice.

Assistive or Adaptive Technology is something used in a classroom environment to help persons with disabilities. I have never seen or known of anyone who needed to use such technologies, however I think I will encounter some during my time as a teacher. When I am a teacher, I worry that certain technologies will be disruptive in the classroom. I already am concerned about the increased use of computers and IPads in the classroom, so I worry about the level of distraction other technologies will bring.
