Blog Journal #7

I am familiar with Twitter since I have been active on the social media site for several years now. This has been my first time using Twitter for educational purposes or anything other social purposes. I have learned how easy it is to share and communicate through Twitter. Not just with my classmate but it is an efficient way to connected nationally. I have followed education-related twitter pages from different states all with different resources for students! Thankfully, since Twitter is easy to navigate I have not experienced any issues.

Creating a Web Design has been interesting as this was my first experience. I learned how to link a properly working calendar onto the website as well as mixing theme features to create my own design. Weebly is a great professional tool, however, I believe additional features can help create a better vision. Themes are very limited and at least for me, I had trouble changing fonts for certain text boxes that came with the theme. This may be one of my favorite assignments in college as I have learned to implement it in my future career. My path in life is to become a Social Worker and I could create a website to explain and share what the field is like. Below you can see a screenshot of my Web Design, click the link to navigate my page!


Assistive technology is used in classrooms to improve the capabilities of students with disabilities. Adaptive technology is specifically designed for a person with disabilities. For example, the most common assistive technology as hearing aids. In fourth grade, I met a classmate who was hard-of-hearing. She explained how the hearing aid made lessons and conversations clear for her to understand. A challenge may be younger students having difficulties understanding how assistive technology helps their classmates.
