My experience using twitter so far has been decent and I can definitely say that I have been exposed to many different ideas from geography teachers. Overall, I am not regularly active on twitter and with everything going on in school I find it difficult to keep up with tweeting every week. Although it is tedious, I like interacting with other students and teachers. I think that in the future it would be easier to be graded on a weekly basis for twitter assignments so that it makes it easier to keep up.
The website was very beneficial in learning how to structure the content for my future classroom. I like that Weebly makes it easy to design the webpage as a whole. The aesthetic is very pleasing for parents and students alike. I actually like that although I made my website very simple, it got me thinking about what I would like to implement in my geography class.

Assistive/adaptive technologies are very beneficial when helping support learners, especially communication. For example, I observed a speech pathologist working with an autistic child who had trouble speaking. By using the software on a tablet the student was able to compose words and communicate very effectively. By using them in my classroom I can incorporate a safe space that is equal for everyone. The only challenges I foresee is that it may have a learning curve for both myself and the student.
