[EME 2040-Fall 2019] Lauren Vetrano: Blog 7

In class we have been using Twitter for educational purposes. So far, I have mixed feelings about using this app for educational purposes. In theory I think it is a good idea, however, I think it is very easy to miss information. Everyone is seeing different information and posts depending what time they go on the app, and there isn't a common ground. However, I think it is good because it is easy to share ideas about bettering education without actually scheduling a meeting with a number of people to share the same information.

I personally, didn't learn too much from the Weebly page. I did learn how to utilize the C.R.A.P. principles, however, with this assignment, you have to be very creative. There is not a strict template or directions for how to make your website, you just have to experiment with it. I wanted more time ti adjust my website. I am not sure exactly how I would improve it because I did it to the best of my ability. I would implement the site and then get feedback from the parents of my students. I will definitely use this in my future career because it allows me to relay information directly to parents instead of sending announcements home with students and relying on them to get it to the parents. Below is a screenshot of my teacher webpage and a link to it.

Miss Vetrano's Kindergarten Class

These technologies are used to help those with disabilities complete daily tasks such as talking, moving around, and even grasp or lift objects. These are used to help students participate in daily classroom activities that they otherwise might not be able to. There was a student in my English class in high school who used these technologies to participate in class activities like giving presentations, and even writing papers. Like any technology, I predict for this to have complications with its basic functions. Technology usually has problems with the wifi or other basic functioning problems.
