As hopefully a soon to be US History, I believe taking surveys would be very helpful not only to the student but to the teacher as well. 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 and different things such as different adaptive technologies and I would not know about those without reading my classmates blogs.

Technology is becoming more and more abundant everyday and new things pop up. Being a teacher, it is important to stay on top of the new technology out there.  I would like to learn and master the skill of websites such as edline or canvas that update your students on their grades, announcements,  and assignments. I  know the website pretty well from the student side but it will be important to learn from the teacher side. A good way to master this would probably be by communicating with co-workers. Being a new teacher, you will have many teachers who have been working there for many years who would be happy to show you the tricks and tools to learn. Also, watching YouTube videos can show you how to do many different things. Staying on top of many new technology's is defiantly a key to becoming a successful teacher.

Adaptive Technology for Diverse Learners

Through my individual efforts, I learned there are many different forms of diverse students. Some students can have trouble hearing and others can have trouble seeing. Before this I thought there was only one or two forms of diversity. It was very interesting to discover the other ways. But with the way technology has enhanced there are very many ways to adapt and work around. With this assignment, I also learned about tools such as keyboards for blind that can help. As a future educator, it is important to be up to date on all types of diverse learners so this was important information to grasp. By creating the presentation with my group I learn not only how to summarize a small amount of information and place in a quick power point but also about the tools for reading for diverse learners. 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...

On of the most recent tools that I have been loving using in EME 2040 is Twitter! I have been using twitter my whole life but now I am using it in a totally different way. I know all the backbones and ways as to how to use just from using it everyday and adapting to the ways of twitter. It is a great source that lets you get out information. There is even a tool that students can turn on that will notify them every time a specific person tweets. It would be good for them to do that for their teacher in case they had any last minute announcements. I have been interacting with a lot of my classmates and also educational leaders in the this world. I hope to use this in my future to easily communicate with future students. However, depending on kids maturity, it could be a bad tool to use. The students would have access to direct messaging and tweet freely anything they would like for you and your other students to see. Obviously you can hope this does not happen but sometimes teaching hig...
