  • My prior experiences with technology are limited to social media and what I have used for class/projects, like powerpoint and word/google docs. 
  • I hope to learn how to use technology to influence my teaching in the future, to make me a better teacher.

I learned that I need to relate everything to the real world more to get a better understanding with what I am doing.

It is also keeping me up to date with the College of Education and EduTech. I think for me personally, I won't use Twitter in my personal career, mainly because I want to teach younger kids who may not even know how to read yet. However, I could use it to constantly update parents on what we are doing in class and what is going on with the school.      The digital divide effects students because some have a lot of technology in their lives, while others (those who live in rural areas, or those who do not have a lot of money) may not have a lot of technology, often not having updated computers or access to the internet/computers. If a student has homework they need to do on a computer, they may not be able to do it. If a paper needs to be typed, ...
