Twitter and Education

Twitter is a tool I’ve used for years for entertainment and communication. I’ve learned that it is a platform where voices are heard. It can be a great place for collaboration and expression. It is a great place for new ideas, new information, and expression. But, conflict can arise. With the lack of limitation on what people can say, it can lead to controversy, disagreements, and slander. I don’t see this occur as much on my educational twitter, but I have definitely witnessed “Twitter beef” throughout my experiences. I haven’t run into issues with Twitter, because I feel like I use it responsibly, in the way it is intended to be used. 

When making my Weebly, I didn’t use any new skills except for patience. To be frank, it’s difficult to take the time to creatively format and organize information. I had ideas for layouts, spacing, and fonts, and wasn’t always able to put those into fruition. I also learned that sometimes a website with multiple features takes a while to load, so it is important to make enough time to work on it and expect delays. Hopefully, in the future, I can learn more about unlocking features that can make it easier to customize my page! Using websites like these for my future class will really help them understand what’s going on, what to expect, and help prepare them to complete their tasks.
                                         
Assistive tech is great for students because it allows inclusivity. I've only seen it needed for kids who can't move around on their own, never anything more severe. it would be tough in the class  to accommodate for these kids if the school had the right funding for it. if they could provide for these kids, then thats what would make or break the class experience.
