Twitter, digital division, and academic software

 

                My early experiences using Twitter were relatively boring, at first I did not understand the hype about Twitter. After a while, I started to change what I saw on Twitter by following different people. I started following things that interested me such as Black gardeners and Black tarot readers. I feel that Twitter will be helpful within my career as an entrepreneur because I can use it to market my business 

I feel that digital division can negatively impact the student's success in school. Some of the causes of the digital divide are economic background and the resources available to the student. I feel that these divisions negatively can impact a student's rate of success in school because not all students have the same technology resources around. One thing that I could experience as a classroom teacher is a student who does not have any access to technology or the internet. 

Two Academic software tools I would like to implement in my future classroom are Class Dojo and is Brainpop. Class Dojo is an interactive monster-themed software that tracks student information based on stats within the actual class. Brainpop is an interactive software that has a plethora of grouped information specifically geared towards students ranging from reading, math, science, and more. I want to use Class dojo so that the students and student's parents can check their statistics on things like behavior, assignments, rewards, attendance, and more. I want to use Brainpop because I feel that it could be helpful for lesson planning and reaching students who might be visual and auditory learners.
