To be totally honest, I haven't been enjoying using Twitter so far. It's not a social network that I use in my personal life, so I don't think about using it for this class. It also feels very informal to me, so not something I'd want to use in my professional life. I can see how it would be useful to help build a network of professionals, but I don't think I'd use it that way. Maybe if I put more time into it I would enjoy it more, but for now, it hasn't been useful to me. 

I really liked the using weebly! I've used a couple other website hosting sites before, and they've all been very frustrating to use, but weebly was very intuitive. It let me create a beautiful and easy to navigate website in less than two hours! I was very impressed. I think I'll use it again if I ever want to create a professional website.

Assistive and adaptive technologies help students with special needs with reading, writing, and working on projects in the classroom. In high school I knew a boy who used a special keyboard instead of writing things out. His handwriting was really bad, but I'm not sure if that was the reason he used the keyboard. I think it could potentially be hard to integrate adaptive technology into the classroom without singling out the student using it. I wouldn't want to make them the center of attention and make them feel bad for needing it. I think the best way to deal with it would just be to answer the other student's questions as they ask them, and just treat the adaptive tech like it's the most normal thing in the world.
