The first tweet that I have ever made was done in this class. It has been an interesting experience because it provides much information and so many accounts to follow. I have interacted with classmates through twitter and my teacher. I have found twitter beneficial through the multiple sources provided for personal and professional interests. Twitter could help by showing me companies and opportunities available in my career field.
Digital divide can hinder student success for students who do not have access to technology at home. This can also hinder success for students who are not familiar with technology. Some causes for digital divide can be low income households who are not financially able to incorporate technology in their children's home life. If I experience students who are not familiar with technology as a teacher, I would make technology an extensive tool to help students rather than requiring them to use technology for their grade. For instance, I would use technology to show videos related to class material and to teach instead of making students use technology for homework.
Academic software for students can help students become more familiar with technology. Two software tools that I would like to use in my future classroom are Canvas and Survey Monkey. Canvas is an academic software that provides a space for discussions and access to classroom files. This would be very beneficial for providing information, announcements, and collaboration. I would use Survey Monkey to create surveys for my students to see some of their academic preferences and see what most of my students would like in class.
