When I first downloaded the iTunes app 'twitter' I honestly did not use it that often because I was young and did not really have any followers. Once I got into high school all of my classmates and friends began using the app more. With the amount of users increasing people began posting about real lie problems because it was the easiest way to connect with the world. Its become beneficial because when I look through my feed I can see political posts from the President, or the latest news. Twitter could be extremely useful for my future career because this source of social media is the easiest way to spread a business. I have seen and followed many companies and stores on my own account just because of my interest in the products being sold. 'Twitter' could also be a great way to network, to meet new people who could possibly hire me in the future. 

Digital divide is interesting in my opinion, because people in our society are very dependent on technology, when in reality many people in this world do not have the connection to any technology at all. At schools in cities with a very high rate of poverty, many students are not able to receive the same supplies. Being connected to the internet, allows students to learn from multiple different sources and professors from all over the world, apposed to students who are limited to books and computers from other less fortunate countries. 

Academic software I believe should be implemented in future class rooms would be an increase in simulations for students who learn better by doing and seeing up close. For example, simulations for any science class could give students a higher understanding of specific cells or functions. Another software I believe can be beneficial is a device that could help students comprehend different languages so it can be easier in careers to travel and speak in different countries. This sort of device or teaching software could increase communication between societies so that its easier to understand and create peace between countries and their differences.

In the future, there are certain ELA technology standards i feel most prepared to teach with my existing knowledge. I plan on becoming a manager for a company and eventually try to work my way up to a higher position. With this job, by showing leadership skills plays an important role for being in this job position. This can be considered one of the standards required for holding a job as a manager. I feel confident with this standard because i usually demonstrate signs of leadership in my everyday life. I also would require more learning on my part when trying to stay organized when when presenting new facts and information. By hiring new people and being in charge of holding different people and companies information. The tool I would use it in my classroom would be computers. By displaying presentations or a new lesson it is very convenient. Many people learn and obtain information better when it is physically projected to them. I find that it is very informative and can display i...

When working with Diigo, I learned many new skills that I obtained while working. Diigo is basically a social bookmarking website that allows users to bookmark webpage. It is also a powerful research tool that is used by a wide variety of people. In my opinion, this is a good way to develop better reading and research strategies. This application can be useful in my classroom with team members and for my individual professional efforts in many ways. As a whole, it is very useful by having it be a knowledge-sharing community. As an individual, this would be useful because it can keep me organized with all of my information and my students information. I would use powerpoint to support student learning at each level of Blooms Taxonomy for many reasons. It would be useful because the Blooms Taxonomy classifies educational learning objectives into specific levels. It has cognitive affective and sensory domains yet, the cognitive domain list has been more effective and used more for edu...
