Elise's EME2040 Blog

 When creating the website, I learned how to insert and link a calendar to a webpage and apply different designs to a website. When designing my website, I wanted to use text colors that contrasted yet still complemented the colors I used in the background of my different pages. Repeating the types of text, I used for the body and heading helped my viewers to automatically know which sections were headers and which sections were the information based on how the text was formatted. Here is my website:  Home (weebly.com) . It clearly portrays my design choices and how everything came together.     Through my use of Diigo, I learned how to insert a quick function into my toolbar which let me send links and bookmark sites easier than I had known too before. In my career as an educator, I could use Diigo to share resources with my colleagues on a shared group through Diigo, letting me send the source to all teachers and giving a description so that they could access it if they felt they nee

 When looking at this school's different teacher websites, I recognized that each website had a homepage that provided parents and those who visit with a brief description of what was happening in the class as well as a weekly or monthly planner. This helps keep parents and guardians up to date on the things happening in class and what their child should be doing. The amount of information provided usually varied by teacher, but each had the plan for the week on what was happening or what they were teaching as well as how to contact them. The website  provides different links to the different teacher websites, which makes it easier for parents to find I believe.      In my future career, I definitely could see myself using a website to keep the people I work with involved and up to date on my work and the weekly plans. Using Weebly I can make my own website for parents. I also picture myself using Edpuzzle with my students, being able to show the video and have the students take a

 I have very few experiences with Diigo, but it has overall been a pretty pleasant and smooth experience. Thought it took some time to add the extension to my computer, being able to bookmark and share my posts through Diigo has been really easy to navigate and use whenever I needed it. It does however seem like one of the weirder softwares I have used. I am curious to see the context in which we would use Diigo in a regular classroom because I do believe it is a productive program, just want to see where else it may apply to.     I have really enjoyed blogging so far. It has helped to reflect on the different tasks I have completed in this class and really realize the value behind the work I am doing. I do not particularly have something I do not enjoy about blogging, I have found it to be fairly easy to accomplish and has helped to document the things I have done so far. Through blogging, I have learned how far I really have come in this class. Though I did have some experience with

     During my earlier experiences with twitter, I have interacted with different schools near where I am from and with @lrnchat where I participated in a chat and answered a question. I have also liked many of NASA Kennedy Space Center's posts and joined calls through twitter. I wanted to be an astronaut for the longest time when I was a kid and I love keeping up to date with what they are doing and the videos they post to educate others on what is going on. I also follow and like posts by the U.S. Department of Education and interact with other major educational programs on twitter.     The digital divide is defined as the ability for some people to have access to internet and computers and some people are not. Without proper access to technology in school, students begin to fall behind their peers in understanding technology as well as falling behind in society. The modern-day world relies so heavily on technology and internet access that those who are not able to get on begin t
