1. When using Twitter for my personal life, I really enjoy it since I am sharing meaningless things. When it comes to using it for my education class it is a bit harder to use, as I have to be carful and see what I am posting. I feel like this issue would get better when I do have a classroom for myself and can share my students work or use it to get ideas from others. Since Twitter allows you to be quick and concise about your thoughts and share them with your followers. It allows information to be shared with others and helps promote creativity.
2. When designing my website I had to have an eye for the aesthetic and for it to not be too overwhelming, but having enough information. Finding the middle ground for it was the most difficult part when designing the website. I feel like I could have done more when adding images to my website, but I overall really like how it turned out. I am excited to make one when I have a classroom of my own. A website is a great way for parents to stay connected to what is happening in the classroom setting. https://jackysoto143.wixsite.com/banda-sotosclass
3. Assistive and adaptive technologies are there to aid the students that are using them and not isolate them any further. They are helpful and needed in order to for the students to do better in their classroom. During my time tutoring, I have seen many adaptive and assistive technologies. For examples, there is a a keyboard mouse that is bigger and easier to use, than most traditional ones. Hearing aids are also very helpful for students who have difficulties hearing and it aids them in the classroom as they are able to comprehend lessons. There are so many advantages using adaptive technologies, but if there is no funding than they cannot be used to the best of their abilities.
