I enjoy using twitter. I like the connection aspect of it. I learned that you can get news on almost any subject from using twitter. That is a major benefit from the site. I also benefit because I can stay in touch with many of my peers. It could become very useful in the future. I have not experienced any issues. Overall, it is a good app and works good!

Working on the web design was okay. I do not personally like it though. I feel that I will never need to make one. But maybe one day I will. It could be useful in the future if I need to because I had some good practice while working on the site. The skills I have acquired are the CRAP. Using that I have learned what it takes to make a nice web page from those standards. Next time I feel as if I need something specific to make the site too. I think that will give me more information to add to the site. I will use CRAP in the future.

Assistive and adaptive technologies are amazing. They help learners with disabilities tremendously. They give those learners what they need to overcome their disability and get a good education. For example, if a student cannot use their hands to type,l there is a software where they can talk to text. Or some software to help people with their speech. Even braille printers can help blind students. It will give them the opportunity to read just like the other students. I do not know any one who has personally used these technologies before. Some problems I see with them are that the teachers do not know everything they should about the pieces. So if a student has a question with the technology personally maybe not all teachers will be able to answer the questions and with that it could create many problems.

ILP "Participation"- Technology Showcase

Image
I visited the Technology Showcase before class and it was a great learning experience. I had a hands on experience with the different types of technologies used in our schools today. I got to use the three different types of smart boards. I used AR and VR. Those were very neat because I have never used them before and it was a new experience. I did get a little motion sick from it though. I also used the robots that are very helpful for the ones learning experience. They have a robot that records video and sound of instruction. They even have an IPad that gives you the ability to incorporate learning with different games. My activity notes: The equipment is very fancy and seem very expensive. I like the white board that plays games. It would keep the kids interested with learning. But if it was for high school kids the normal white boards would probably work best. Or with older kids, I would use the VR and AR. I think they would enjoy that more and it would be more practical. Also,...

Initial Blog Post (Post #0)

My name is Logan Brown. I am from Jacksonville, Florida. I am a die hard FSU sports fan. I also am a big Jaguars fan. I love sports, animals, and food. A day in my life is pretty busy during the week. I work two jobs and a full time student. I am gone non stop until  the weekend. I love the weekends because I do not have work so I am able to relax and focus on some school work. But when it comes to the school work, I am such a good procrastinator! Oh and I LOVE to spend money, I am pretty good at that too. In the past I have not used too much technology. I am from the west side of Jacksonville so the funding was not that good. I am just used to white boards and some projectors. I have visited the sandbox here and it is very neat. All the educational technology is amazing and is making learning more fun that what it used to be. I wish I was taught with it because I feel as if I would have paid a little more attention to it throughout my learning. I hope to learn all the new gadget...

Persanolly I am not a fan of the flipped classroom. To me that type of classroom is far away from the traditional style that most everyone knows today. In the flipped style you kind of help yourself and others learn the material. You can do the learning on your own. Once you do the learning you come and explain what you know. This gives the teacher a way to make sure you have learned the correct material. It will also include more activities. I do not think this style is for everyone though. OERs are to help people learn but with out the nuisance of spending money all different types of resources. OERs give you a way to get some education resource from all over. From the site I was on they explain many types of OERs. They also give out resources for anyone to use. They organize the material as courses. The material is also for higher education. They give out wanted information for the ones who are in universities and beyond. I find it very helpful because I learn more on OERS and see...
