It is beneficial because it is a great idea to learn how your students enjoy learning and what they thought about an assignment.For example, I could ask my history students how they feel about me presenting a power point or them reading the book and then having a class discussion which on which they read. Reporting back is important to see how well the students play out the assignment and if they have done it right. If I use Twitter, using an excel sheet would be beneficial just as it was in this class. Reviewing my classmates blogs was a great way to learn different tools and designs. Sometimes it was more appealing to the eye to read a blog that was designed better. Also, it was great reading the different opinions on the same topics by all. I thoroughly enjoyed that part of it. It was helpful reviewing their blogs because I got to learn about new...

There are many ways to stay up to date with all of this and that is mainly all through technology. I found a website that has blog sources that you can use in your career to share things and also a blog from head of technology for a school district. That can be very helpful in maintaining development. My classmates all had very good ideas and bookmarks. There was one website called linkedin that really helps you stay connected to others.

This technology helps kids who are diverse learning keep up and continue to learn information just like very other student. Some technology includes kinds that help kids learn how to read by highlighting words as they hear it. Also different types of key boards that help students who are blind or have trouble typing.

There are tools that will read information to you and help you comprehend. Also tools that will highlight sentences as you are reading them. Tools such as that are important because they can help...
