Using twitter in an educational form has helped me learn ways to talk more professionally, even if it's on social media, it's still just as important to be professional. I've found many different articles about education in America and it has kept me up-to-date in what's happening in our department of the government. The biggest issue with the twitter assignment I have is actually remembering to tweet more than once a week, and trying to not do everything all at once.

I have had to create websites for classes in the past and I am not particularly a fan. I would not create a whole new website for my class, I would use a website that is already set up like Edmodo. In the future, I would recommend to not have this assignment. My reasoning is that we are already creating a website through blogger and in other required classes at FSU like ENC2135, we are creating a website in that class as well so student's (at FSU at least) are already learning how to create a website. I am also having a hard time trying to figure out how to work and navigate weebly.


I learned how to annotated share websites with a group of people instead of having to save the link and send a message to my peers. If I wanted to share a website with my colleagues or with parents, this would be a useful tool.

Adaptive technology helps people with a disability perform tasks like reading and writing. In  Chapter 4 of our textbook, we learn about many different types of adaptive technologies. Word processing software, recorded (audio) books, and input and output devices are just the beginning. I have used audio books to listen to when I have long car rides, and that helps me fight motion sickness, but I do not know someone personally that has a disability and uses adaptive technology. A challenge that might arise in having adaptive technologies in the classroom is if the technology is glitching, or not working, then the student may not be able to use it as needed. I would use the Remember level in the classroom by having review PowerPoints and possibly making a Jeopardy! presentation where students can team up and compete while reviewing information before their test. I would use the  Understand level in PowerPoint by using different examples of a topic in the presentation, like i...

The Flipped Classroom is similar to open education in the fact that students are watching videos outside of the classroom, but what sets flipped classroom apart is that it is used as homework, and when the students come back the next day, they are expected to have lessons and activities on the video. The teacher becomes less of the main educator, and is used as more of a guide, as said in the textbook. Open education was one of the "open" terms mentioned in the podcast and it is when a professor from one college or university can record their lecture and it be viewed to students in a completely other state. They do not need to be enrolled at that university to access the videos, and that can come with a few drawbacks.  These include a potential lack of administrative oversight and quality assurance systems for educators/materials in some programs, infrastructure limitations in developing countries, a lack of equal access to technologies required f...
