     So far I have not really liked the twitter assignment. I do not use social media much and i have never had a twitter until this class, so I find it very difficult to remember to post twice a week on twitter. I also am a Spanish major and have five 4000 level Spanish classes this semester which makes it even harder for me to remember about the twitter. I have found a few good articles and such on twitter, however I do not feel like they are helping me anymore than what we are learning from the book and in class. I feel most of the things I find on twitter are repetitive. I don't know why I don't like twitter more, maybe it's because I feel people abuse social media or spend too much time on it, or maybe its because politicians and the President use when it really isn't something that shouldn't be used to talk about important subject. My whole life ion school though I have thrived off literature and language though and I fell that maybe this has made me have a disdain for social media because I have such a love for the written word used eloquently.  Social media has become such a taboo these days and I personally do not like incorporating it into the classroom.
     The web page design I did enjoy, I though it really helped me research some different sites that could be useful for me in my future career. I enjoyed working on the weebly website. I thought that this site was fun and easy to use, it had aesthetically pleasing pages and had mostly everything set up and ready to go; therefore, all I had to do when I got to the site was put in the information and post it. I feel like that website is definitely something I could use in my future.

     Diigo is also something that could be used for my future classroom. Being able to easy put things that I find interesting in one place for my students will be very nice and time efficient. I love that I could also assign some work for my students to do research. If I ever made a paper or project that they would need resources this would also be nice because I could have them post their resources there for me to check out to make sure they are on the right path for the assignment. It also is easy to add to the computer and just really nice to get to in a hurry.

Today is about the Web 2.0 tools and what are not allowed in classroom. We were assigned to listen to a podcast about the issue and write about which one we would have liked to use and why some of the tools are no longer allowed; however, i was not able to open up the podcast and could not find it online.      I did some research online about Web 2.0 tools since the podcast link was not working and I found a tool that I like and might use in my future classroom. It's a mapping tool called, Popplet and it allows students to work and collaborate with other students. This could be very helpful in my future classroom, since I am teaching a foreign language, this could help my students work together and figure out how to do their homework and help them remember words and grammar.   https://teaching.pitt.edu/blog/web-2-0-tools-in-teaching-and-learning/      I believe the biggest technology advancement we have made is "t he SynergyNet project funded by the...

     To find a teachers website page I went to my old high school's website to see if they had anything like this for their teachers because I did not remember them having a website. I did find though, that they have on their website a picture of every teacher and a link with their name that connects you to a page with their information on it. There was not much on their other than, their name, subject they taught, and their email. I picked a foreign language teacher for all grades.             http://mhspanthers1.weebly.com/cheri-kaniper.html      I do not plan to use a lot of technology to teach with in my class, however, I do plan on using technology to keep up with my responsibilities as a teacher. I hope to have a website or page I can upload daily work and/or homework for my students to be able to keep up with things. Also, having something like this for my students to check will help eliminate time takin...
