 Some of the new skills I acquired from working on the website design assignment this week included making pages. I found this to be interesting because I've always wanted to make a website. The other skills included using the nice features the website involves. Features include a divider and spacer adders between pages. I disliked that the functions weren't as simple to use as I originally thought. What I learned from the assignment can be used in my future career by allowing for the saving of information on public domains.

The new skills I learned working with Diigo made things simpler. Bring able to save your previously used links and cite them property helps. This application can be useful in class because it allows for citations to be accurate and useful in the academic community. My individual professional efforts include properly citing sources that I may have used o accelerate an assignment. 

Technology and teacher professional development are two things that go hand-in-hand. In the classroom I;m sure teachers see a bigger reason each day to learn more about technology. With this responsibility comes the burden of also having to educate students. It's important that teachers stay informed and educated on new advances in technology.

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 want to be in the position to help people the correct way and I feel that Social Work will help me do just that. 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.

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 softw
