I've had a really good experience with twitter so far!  I have been able to keep up to date on what exactly is happen in the education world.  I see posts from Florida State, The county school district and basically anything I want to see.  Its nice using twitter because you have the optional to follow anyone you want.  For instance, if you are only interested in what's going on in Seminole county public schools ten you can just follow the Seminole county public school twitter.  I've learned that it is super easy to stay in the know when you have a twitter.  It helps you stay up to date on what's going on which is a huge benefit.  So far I've experienced no difficulties.  Its a super easy program to work and understand.

The web page design project I super interesting.  I'm getting to learn how to do so many different things like designing and editing my own website.  It actually still in the works of being completed so I can't post the link but stay tuned for the link coming very soon.  I like the program im using to make the website however it can be confusing at some points.  I would need to make sure I stayed focus when doing this project because if you don't pay attention then you can get lost very easily.  This is a great tool for a future career because it can help you make a website for your own company.  It can be as simple as a magazine website or as complex as an insurance companies website.  The possibilities are endless with this program!  If you want to make your own website than check out the link below and keep up to date with my blog to see the launch of my website on Friday.

In class we started working with this program called Diigo.  Diigo allows you to bookmark websites and apply annotations and highlight different sections.  Its a really good program because it allows you to go back and see exactly what you have saved throughout the week or even year.  This could be very useful in classrooms or in a professional setting because it allows you to save ideas.  Sometimes you come across things that can be very useful but not in that moment.  This program allows you to save it anyways so when you do need it its already there.  This program could be a life saver for very forgetful people.

Technology and teacher professional development

I learnt that there are so many different websites that can help with professional development.  We were able to see websites that were specific to certain grades and some that were open to all grades.  Its amazing to see how many resources teachers, students, and even parents have. By viewing the bookmarks and annotations of others I was able to see all the different website that could be used for professional development.  Things such as linkedin, discovery education, even crayola.  There were a lot of opportunities for help that I may not have noticed if someone didn't comment on or bookmark them!
