My experience with Twitter so far has been fun and educational. I've learned how to use Twitter by retweeting other's tweets, finding people and resources on Twitter and replying back the others. It's a great way to interact with others not only from our class but people and institutions everywhere. You learn and read a lot of different information based off the profiles you add as well. So far, I've experienced no issues with Twitter. thus far. Whenever I log in from any device it goes through easily and nothing crashes. The only problem on my end is that sometimes I forget to log in to post or check my tweets. Maybe, because I'm not used to checking it regularly like my Instagram or email.
From using Weebly to work on the web design assignment, it was a new experience. I never used the website before but I found it very easy to interact and find things. The website's layout itself wasn't hard to figure out, I learned how to insert the hyperlink, add a background, and photos. I would recommend using Weebly as well especially for beginners, I believe it is very beginner friendly for all to use coming from myself where I'm not the best at designing things like a website.
Assistive technology with learning disabilities is any piece of equipment or systems that helps compensate and work around for an person's special learning needs. Assistive technology can help with sense of independence and not depending on others. Adaptive technology is a system or objects that are specially designed for the motive of maintaining and increasing the capabilities of people who has special needs or learning disabilities. One of my friend uses hearing aids because of audio impairment. This helps her hear clearly and be able to go about her day without having trouble hearing the things around her or others. These technologies being used in classrooms will help the students a lot. For example if the student is a non native english speaker or students with disabilities who require more time on the computer etc.
Overall, the website looks simple. However, that works in your favor as it is designed for a third grade class. Simplicity works better in that situation. The it's designed can be a bit distracting, as the background clashes with what is written as well as with the images. Everything is seems to be fine. Everything is incorrectly centered. There seems to be no repeated information, keeping everything correctly cataloged. I can see this website being used frequently.
