Before this class, I just used Twitter as a social media platform to honestly repost/retweet funny posts and not much usage for connecting. Since using Twitter in this class, I have learned about the benefits Twitter offers from the online conferences some pages have to the simple fact of connecting with other individuals and engaging in a topic you are interested in. I have no experienced any issues while using Twitter.
While working on the website design assignment I used my CRAAP skills to make sure my website was going to be acceptable to turn in and also for future use. I liked how we were able to make it our own and there was a lot of room for creativity. The calendar was kind of difficult to include in the website, but I was able to figure it out. Next time I would improve by adding in more information and also add in more events into my calendar for the whole year. This website design will help me in the future, by being comfortable and knowledgable in creating a website for my class and for the parents of my class to use.

It is important to have assistive and adaptive technology within the classroom to help support the learning of your students. Students do not all learn the same and it is important to adapt to their learning styles. Technology has been great in making ways to implement learning within the classroom using adaptive technology. I have experienced a smart board at the Tech Sandbox that was specifically a smart board for wheelchair accessible students. This smart board allowed the students to be comfortable at the board and able to engage in classroom activities regardless of the students limitations. I also have experienced online phonetic spelling software's that help many children with learning disabilities. Some challenges that I could see while using adaptive technology within my classroom is making sure the student is able to learn with the technology provided and also making sure there is no bullying within my classroom regarding the adaptive technologies I would use to help a student with disabilities.

I loved your post and your website!! Your website is so cute and easy to navigate. However, I think you may have forgot to post the last paragraph in this post, all I can see is the prompt!
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa, I loved looking at your blog! The design is so cute and appropriate for second grade students and their parents. The academic games and at home practice link is very helpful!
ReplyDeleteYour website looks excellent! I really enjoyed making mine, I think this assignment was an opportunity for us to learn a lot.
ReplyDeleteYou bring up a lot of interesting points. A lot of which I never considered. I'll keep them in mind for the future.
ReplyDeletehey your website looks great! and I like how you mentioned a smartboard as a technology I completely forgot to consider that. Overall nice post I like it!
ReplyDeleteHello! Your website is so colorful and looks really cute! The Dr.Seuss quote is something I liked the most just because growing up in elementary school I've seen and read his books. I like how you included an "Academic Field Trip" tab I didn't even think about including something like that!
ReplyDeleteHey Mel,
ReplyDeleteC:The contrast of your website is really good. The spacing is approximate and wording is aligned well.
R: Throughout your website you showed repetition in using the same fonts for your headings, and subtitles which helps learn what topics are being presented on the website.
A: For the alignment I noticed all your wordings are mostly on the left hand side. Information regarding the site very organized.
P: The website shows effective proximity. The website shows clear differentiation in elements regarding the website.
Overall the website looks great. I like the quote added in your website about Dr.Seuss.
This is a very well designed website. Easy to navigate and visually appealing. Nothing seems out of place or misaligned, this helps in keeping everything visually appealing. Overall, the website is very well made and looks very professional. I could easily see this being used frequently.
