Journal 4 - Twitter
While I have used Twitter before, this was the first time it was in such a different way. I have have yet to really interact with anyone, there was an instance where I gave a short anecdote on the the impact that Kobe Bryant had and that garnered a short response of just a GIF. Twitter can be useful in the future to get information across at a moments notice. If there is something that one wants to share, they can share it almost instantly.
Digital divide is that gap between certain generations and their ability to understand/use technology. The way digital divide affects students is that something new and revolutionary could be introduced and they would have no idea how to use it. There is also the lack of exposure to any kind of technology that can increase that divide greatly. How this could affect me as a teacher would be in how technology could evolve even further and I would not have the knowledge to operate it. The best way I could combat it would be to learn how to use it, as that piece of technology could make teaching something easier.
Almost anything can be academic software, as a different way to apply that software's uses can lead to creating something educational. One of the programs I would use in a class would be Final Cut Pro. This is a more advanced video editing software, however, many of the basics involve prior knowledge. I would this because making a film/video as a project is always a fun experience (if a bit tiring), and can invigorate a class in a way a standard project can sometimes fail to achieve. The second software I would use would be Evernote, as it could be a more organized way to keep a class informed. This program allows for better and more focused sharing of information/files between teacher and student.
