 Creating the website was like many of my previous experiences creating websites but it helped me sharpen my creative skills. I have made many websites for school projects but I had never had to embed google calendars within the website. Utilizing calendars has not necessarily been my forte but whenever I do use them it helps me stay organized. I liked the design aspect of creating the website and making sure there was congruence and consistency throughout the website. Moving into my career the google calendar aspect of this website will help me stay organized and create consistency for my own schedule.

My experience with Diigo prior to this class was little to none. Using Diigo was extremely helpful when finding websites, sharing them, and then annotating. Annotating websites is not something I have done in the past and didn't really see the benefit to. However, I found the process was very easy and helpful when you need to share media found on websites. I see this benefiting me in the future when I am required to share business related articles with my piers and analyzing them for validity and content.

Technology has become an integral part of today's classrooms and therefor teachers need to stay up to date on new development. Websites such as as https://www.sciencedaily.com/news/computers_math/educational_technology/ are easy outlets for teachers to stay updated. These articles discuss topics such as the digital divide, new advancements in music technology, and monitoring health technologies. Especially during times like these, technology can better help teachers reach their students efficiently and effectively.

    Hi Devin! I think you did a really good job on your website. The images you chose were really engaging, and the overall alignment and proximity looks good as well. I would consider aligning some of the images on the about me page more symmetrically, but that's just personal preference. Overall, well done!

I have been using word ever since elementary school when I was first assigned a digital writing assignment. I have been able to draft hundreds of essays with it as well as create flyers, a few brochures, and lettering for poster boards. Word is by far the best word processor that I have used and prefer it over pages and Google Docs. The ISTE standards equip teachers for the effective implementation digital strategies that will enhance learning and teaching as well as altering the digital world. One of the standards that stands out to me most is the Facilitator role which empowers kids to take charge of their education. As a teacher you also are responsible for challenging the students and creating learning opportunities using technology. This standard emphasizes

 Using Twitter has not always been a useful experience in that most of the information gathering that I was doing was coming from Google news and various news outlets. Whenever I used Twitter, it seemed like a clunky way to gather inconsistent and rumored material. As of recent, I have been able to use Twitter in a way I actually feel benefits me. Following more Twitter pages that I find interesting has allowed me to get a glance of several social circles that I enjoy. Being able to get early news on new stock market movements and learning about new advances in companies around the world allows me to be more educated in the way I conduct my personal and financial growth. Using Twitter in the future will allow me to stay updated and connect with people as well as update other people on new findings that I might come across. The digital divide is the separation between students who have access to the internet or technological tools and those who do not. As a student this is very importan
