I have really found the twitter assignment interesting. I like being able to connect with my fellow classmates and see their thoughts about things that are education related, but not always class related. I really like to look at the eme2040 account and answer the questions that are posted. I also really like to see what other students have said in response to the same questions. It is a good way to ask questions to fellow students about assignments (through direct message), but it is also a good way to just see everyone's opinion on different education and education technology related topics. If I teach older students, twitter could be helpful for the students to collaborate through as well as ask questions to me. I could also use it to remind students about upcoming tests and due dates.
The digital divide is a gap between those who do and do not have readily available access to technology. This gap makes a large disparity in students and it is said to have positive aspects in education, specifically when entering higher education and/or the work force. Some causes of the digital divide can be socioeconomic status (lower SES typically has less access to technology) and location of residency (rural locations typically have less access to technology). As a teacher, I may have students who do not have access to technology and internet at home. I should plan my lessons and homework accordingly and make sure that if a computer or the internet is needed, students have time in class or access to a computer lab after school to complete the assignment.
I expect to use desktop publishing software the most to make class handouts, worksheets, newsletters, etc. If i teach younger kids simple handout type work will be the most used in the classroom. I would use reference software least because younger children would not need to use things such as dictionaries, atlases, and encyclopedias as much. most younger kids tend to learn things better through heavily illustrated means.
