For me, I definitely use Twitter the least of all my social media platforms. I was using it as a means of contacting friends who also use it. I felt for a while that Twitter was just a waste of space so I just deleted the app completely. Since re-downloading the app I have found a purpose for the app. I am happy that I can now use it for a more professional means of communication with others. 

The digital divide affects student success in schools by favouring those with access and placing those without access at a disadvantage. The digital divide is caused by some students having what others lack. I know that with being a teacher there will be many students and each will be different in their own way. I also have to expect the difference some of their at-home circumstances will vary. In the video the recommendation was made for teachers to dedicate a portion of class time to developing the student's technological abilities, this is what I would do to narrow the division. 

Two software tools that I would like to implement in my future classroom would have to be google docs and PowerPoint presentation. I chose these two because firstly with google docs it automatically saves. With this feature, it prevents you from losing anything in the case the power goes out or you hit a wrong key. I love this because I can't count the number of times something has gone extremely wrong while typing anything related to school. The other tool is the Powerpoint presentation. I've enjoyed PowerPoint since I was introduced to it. It allows for multiple options of creativity. My favourite feature is the one that alls the computer to give you an idea and then you are able to tweak it and make it into your own.

Who is Tee?

 Hello, my name is La'shay King but I go by Tee. I attend Florida State University with the major of Social Work and the minor of Psychology.

I enjoy hanging out with friends but I know that school always comes first.  My prior experience with technology in an educational setting has been great. I took a computer skills class in high school and I feel that it helped me tremendously. I was able to get my certification in Microsoft, Excell and Word for 2012 I believe. It was one of my most important classes because all my other classes involved some sort of technology and I was able to breeze through that work as well. I absolutely love google. Without google, I have no idea where I would be in my academic career. Google has been my teacher for quite some time and it has been the best thus far. Google has a wide range of information that it is able to present to me at an

  My initial thought and experience with using Diigo was “I hope this is easy to navigate so that I can pass.” I was happy to see that it was and was actually a nice resource. The only aspect that I disliked was  My experience with blogging was nice. I mentioned that at the beginning of class I’ve always wanted to start blogging my life. Blogging allowed me to keep an exact track of information, dates and much more. During the blogging process I’ve learned to enjoy being organized and in order.  An interesting Web 2.0 tool that I would consider using as a teaching tool would be YouTube. For me youtube would make things so much easier. Students could get the videos perspective at their own pace and then gather their own. This would allow for elaboration which I believe is most important in the classroom.
