Twitter is an easy way to communicate with others in a swift and efficient way. New technology can be introduced with a simple tweet and change our simple insight of the world. I followed a few accounts that I find to be important and helpful. For instance, Apple Support is a great account to follow to get immediate help from the company. For issues with technology, they are there to help.Twitter would be helpful for students to get information quickly from a source they readily have available. 

Digital divide is detrimental for those students below the poverty line that cannot afford to buy these great new pieces of technology. Also, those that grew up in environments without technology are already at an unfair advantage. I will try to create a classroom that welcomes technology but doesn't require it. It's important to show these pieces of technology but understand that this may be the only place these students see this technology.

I would like to use technology that incorporates online reading of assigned reading to save paper but I would like to have physical  copies for students to chose how they would like to interact with the text. I plan to teach high school drama and introducing them to technology  they could experience outside of the classroom in a professional theater sense. Programs like CueLab and projection editing software will make them well-rounded and experienced in this new technology.

  1. Apple Support is very helpful but I encourage you to focus more on the educational twitter accounts and explore around. Different people have different opinion towards twitter. Some people find it very useful, while some people find it not that engaging. The idea of this activity is to show you an idea of using social media to develop your own personal learning network. Twitter can be a start point for you to develop your career network but it is certainly not the only way.
