My experience with Twitter so far has been very banal. I see the appeal for some teachers, especially for those that want to have a more online presence within their classrooms but for myself personally I do not see myself using it professionally. I can never quite figure out what tone is appropriate, or if what I'm tweeting is even worth tweeting. Overall the social media website just gives me feelings of dread and anxiety.
Working on the Web Design assignment was super fun! I never realized it was so easy to create a website, I can definitely see myself using Weebly in the future. There honestly wasn't much I disliked about the process, it felt really clear and direct with me. I'm afraid my website personally is a bit bland in terms of designs, but I hope to use the revision token to spice it up, this time around I had some personal issues that kept me from truly utilizing the resource.

Assistive and adaptive technologies are some of the best technological advances we've had. It's really cool that we have so many ways to be inclusive in our modern classrooms, I just wish that they were more cost-friendly. A lot of the newer, and nicer, examples we have are out of budget for the average school. An example of an assistive technology I've gotten to use is a VRS (video relay service) that I learned how to use in my high school ASL class.
I really liked the design and color scheme of your website! I also really appreciated the different links you include and how they tie in perfectly with your class topic. One thing I think could be improved would be to just include more about what will be covered in the class! I think an assignments page would have not only added more information and clarity about the class but also would have added a great aspect to your page as a whole. Overall, great job!
