#7 I

According to the podcast, Adaptive or Assistive Technology is defined as technologies that help people with disabilities more effectively use computing equipment. They can be used to support learners. For example, if you are blind you would be able to use the voice recognizer.  I have to Siri which is a voice recognizer to send a message for me because i was driving. Challenges for the classroom would include if we have the funding to have these equipment on hand.

The new skills i acquired from learning how to use weebly to make a website. I learned how i could insert pictures and hyperlink them. I learned some amazing things about US government. I learned how i could embed my google calendar to go on my website. I found that to be interesting because i did not know that i could do that. What i did not like about weebly was i have to contact support services in order to have my page created. I did not enjoy how i had to pay for a membership for some of the features. Overall, i had fun creating my own web page.

This new skills i learned from working with diigo included knowing how to effectively sort different sources by the hashtag. This can be useful in the classroom because it would allow me to be organized with my sources by having them in one place. Diigo would help me as a student by allowing me and others to swap information or tips on our teaching skills. Since i would like to become a principal diigo would be perfect with I'm discussing strategies, i would like the my teachers to use.
