Twitter is a good way to share your thoughts and see what events are going on around your school. It is easy to communicate ad get updates from accounts which interest you. So far from using Twitter I have learned how to summarize things I want to say better, since there is a character limit. I have learned how to use their system pretty well. I have also learned a new way to communicate with others. So far I have experienced no issues with Twitter.

The Web Design assignment really helped me learn how to make a webpage. This is something I will have to do as a teacher in the future, so it is good to know these skills now.  I learned how to manage and operate the computer pretty well after this assignment. I had a lot of difficulties working the websites and trying to pick the right one. I did like how I now know how to make a website because that could help with many different things in the future.

Adaptive and assistant technology is something that is very useful to the world. Imagine getting the chance to help kids with disabilities learn easier. From wheelchair ramps to having computers that speak for you, assistive technology is something that could benefit the classroom greatly. The only technology for assistant learning I have been exposed to or remember is the hearing aid. My sister is partially deaf in one ear so she got a hearing aid to help with that and I remember seeing how much it helped her. The challenges I see using adaptive/assistant technology is the price. I can only imagine how much it would cost for classrooms. Also, as a teacher I would have to incorporate the technology into my lesson plans which could be difficult.
