A funny story concerning my time with twitter: I'm what you would label an experienced user. I've operated my own twitter profile years prior to enrolling in EME2040 and can speak, firstly, to that experience. I'm active in many subfields including politics, film, literature, and art. These can sometimes bear fruit--interesting articles can pop up, informative conversations can ensue and a good time could be had all around, especially in film twitter. These days, with the political climate as it stands, things can get very toxic. I find myself constantly wearing myself out with the sheer amount of negativity and never ending stream of information. Creating a new account for this course presented me with the opportunity to change my habits and finds new followers. focusing my list to educators and technology companies has significantly improved my experience. Who knew that professionals had such interesting and thoughtful things to say?
The web design project has familiarized my with WiX. It has become my favorite site building tool, as it presents a pre-made collection of site templates that just work for me. It also points out the importance of good artistic design. There are hundreds of sites out on the web, most fail because they don't pop out and offer intuitive designs for the user. In the near future i plan to increase my blogging so as to build a portfolio. As it stands, WIX seems the next logical step.
Any technology that ensures the education of the young should be adopted, no matter what disabilities hinder a certain student. I have no experience with such technologies, nor am I friends with any one who does. However, I am friends with someone who has a speaking disability so uses a screen-reading tablet to communicate with a class. She mentioned the tablet application being a utility for speech therapy but I'm not familiar as to the organization or name of application. In her case the issues are clear but the application is simple and could be added to a classroom setting. in the case of other disabilities, the problem becomes more pronounced with school budgets and affordability.
