Twitter is something that can now be considered as controversial. Overall I mainly use twitter for humor and to be caught up in all the dumb celebrity drama. Usually I don't typically tweet I will most likely just retweet and favorite tweets that are appealing to me. Twitter is very beneficial as it can helps spread news and awareness, it can also help people become famous which is pretty cool. In the future twitter would be a good way to have students interact with one another and share ideas and thoughts openly without fear of speaking up.
The digital divide is something the gap between those who have technology and those who do not have access to it. The digital divide affects students success in school because is proven that those who don't have access to technology are at a disadvantage because they won't be able to access all the resources out there for academic such as online academic softwares or interactive study apps. As a teacher I believe that digital divide can be a problem but there are so many different ways to teach and learn without technology.
In my future classroom 2 academic softwares I would implement are Kahoot It! and One note. Kahoot It! offers a fun interactive activity to get kids to participate in class. It allows the teacher to provide questions with 4 answers and then it allows the student to participate by choosing an answer on their technological device. On the other hand One Note is used to benefit the students as it is a great way to take notes during class and allows for good organization during note taking.

An open educational resources are basically an online learning resource that are very accessible. These resources allow teachers to adapt these resources and use them with in their classroom free of charge, it helps broaden their material. The educational resource I am discussing can be found on through this link:    https://www.oercommons.org/courses/100-people-a-world-portrait/view . It provides you information on global issues, pictures, videos, stats, and ways to get involved.  The powerpoint assignment was very interesting.

In todays society technology is being used widely throughout the classrooms. The reason that technology has become such a wide spread use in the classroom is because technology is growing rapidly. Teachers and students are both using the technology in the classroom because it is a skill that is going to be necessary in the future because technology is only going to grow from here on out. The ISTE standards for educators are very accurate in its goal towards helping students become empowered leaders. One standard that stands out to me is leader. A big part of being a teacher is being able to hold the role as a leader and being able to demonstrate it positively. Like the standards suggest, educators should be able to meet the diverse needs of all students, which is a huge role that a leader should demonstrate. One standard that I do not think that I have acquired skill for yet is learner. The standard learner requires educators to set goals, stay current with new research, and to be in...
