I have enjoyed using Twitter in the classroom setting. I have learned how to communicate better with my classmates and teachers. People post interesting material every day on the app that helps me further my education. Also, a huge benefit of using Twitter is following education accounts. They post daily about events, apps, and websites that are geared towards teaching and how to help others learn.

The web design assignment taught me a lot about creating a website for my class. I like that you can set up a website for your class without a lot of hoops to go through. This gives the students easy access to communicate with the teacher and stay updated. The teacher can assign homework and questions from the website and even display grades. I learned how to ask a whole class a question and how to assign homework from this assignment.

Assistive and adaptive technologies are very interesting to me. I am not sure which one would be better for the student, but I am sure it is different for everyone. Personally, I like adaptive technology better because it allows the student to be more independent. I do not know of anyone who uses either Assistive or adaptive technologies. One challenge of being able to use this technology in a class setting would be the cost of the material.

In the future I could use surveys to ask students questions. I can see if they are enjoying the sections we are covering in class. I can get feed back from the students very fast and east. I could also make it a quiz and have the students enter their name before taking the quiz. I can then see all of the different answers and other data. This could be done with grades of middle school and above. I found what my classmates thought was interesting when reading their blogs. They were able to explain what they learned and liked about different assignments we did in class. This also helped me relate to my classmates more and feel like I knew them better than before. I also liked being able to talk to them about their blogs when I got back to the classroom and discuss it with them. I would like to learn how to Photoshop next. I believe this would be a great technology-related skill to have for the future. I like making funny pictures with other peoples face on them or their body and beco...

ILP Tech Tool Box- Google Classroom

I have chosen Google classroom for this project. The reason behind me choosing this as an important ILP Tech Tool Box is because of the experience I have with the tool. Google Classroom is very reliable and extremely helpful. You can create a home for your class in minutes and upload work, questions and anything else you may want your students to learn. https://voicethread.com/share/11785928/

The flipped classroom takes out the in-class lectures. Instead of coming to class to hear the professor talk about the subject, the students watch them from home. Then, when they come to class, they can talk to the professor about any questions they might have and have a better understanding of what they are learning. I believe this would be the best classroom setting because students can get the help they need from the teacher and have time to discuss the problem.  Open educational resources are a very easy and effective way to find new information that you can use for your school work or projects. This takes out the need for a physical book, as you can just use the resources in the digital form.  https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/earth-atmospheric-and-planetary-sciences/12-090-the-environment-of-the-earths-surface-spring-2007/course-textbook/earthsurface_7.pdf   This is an informational resource I found for glaciers.
