#4 - Love me, Love me, Please Retweet

Being on Twitter is nothing new to me. I have been apart of that social community ever since 2014. For this class, I think it is really cool that the course included an application that most students are use to and can familiarize themselves with. Throughout the course I have usually been retweeting the different educational twitter accounts, specifically ones that relate to educational technology. I retweet tweets that talk about new technologies in the classrooms or laws and policies being made in benefit to a better future for next generations of students. Eventually, working with Twitter is beneficial to me in the end because I might connect with someone through a tweet or it would make reaching someone easier, as well as leave me more disposable to anyone. It also gives me a look at what is popular in pop culture because everything and anything is posted onto Twitter.
A digital divide is the gap that divides the people who do and do not have access to technology. Access to technology increases a students potential for success in education. Without any access to technology, something as simple as a lack of a computer or even a smart phone hinders a child from advancing their knowledge. Even something as basic as educational games and simulations are useful applications that are involved in different curriculums, and if those are not available
When I am visiting a website for the first time I look at a lot of things. Specifically, how easy it is to go through the website and the pictures on their pages. I tend to like more websites that have more interactive features. For example, polls are fun and interactive and they give the website an idea of what their audience looks likes. I also like attractive and aesthetic pictures. They are appealing to the eye and capture my attention quickly. I also think that if a website is easier to maneuver through, the audience will be more open and less intimidated to search through it and find what they are looking for, as well as return!
