I was never really interested in Twitter. I only made Twitter accounts if my classes were using it for educational purposes. Thus far, I've been interacting with fellow students from my classes, a lot of educational programs, institutions, and some popular figures such as Nancy Pelosi. It's a learning experience to see and hear different opinions of different people from all over. I find that very fascinating. Twitter might be helpful in my future career of helping people know what events or what is going on in my life or even at work.

The world as we know is evolving into a technical world. Many schools and classrooms in cooperate the use of technology. Digital divide affects student's success in school depending on their situations. The students who has access to technology has an advantage over students who doesn't have the access. Even at school it can create an advantage or disadvantage depending on the school use and resources. As a classroom teacher most likely I would get student's with different backgrounds and levels of knowledge on how to use technology so I would in cooperate ways where everyone would have a chance to learn and know and be equally on the same level.

One academic software tool I would use for my students is called Kahoot. I personally used this being a student and I found myself having fun while learning, enjoying, and bonding with other groups of students in the class. In Kahoot I can create my own questions or use another teacher's creation and base the game off those questions which can either be individual or in groups. I'd also go over it based off knowing if my students understand the material or not. Another program I would tell my students to use is Grammarly. It is best known for writing which corrects spellings, fixes grammar mistakes and even word phrasing. This is very helpful when writing essays or even shorter works like a paragraph. The best things about these two programs is that they are free and easy to use!
