I made my first twitter account when I was 15. I spent most of my time trying to interact with celebrities I idolized, my friends and classmates, and even people who shared common interests with me that I met online. I think Twitter could help me in my career because it would keep me up to date on things happening, I could stay up to date on things that might be relevant to my students. I could even use twitter in a more playful way by incorporating memes and jokes within our class activities.
The digital divide is an ongoing issue within America, and even the world. Between poverty, culture, and even geographical placement, the digital divide is a real issue. Certain student/people don't have access to the same forms of technology and therefore don't have the same opportunity, School have been trying to minimize this divide by providing computers on campus, but with lower income schools, they cannot afford such a luxury.
When I become a teacher, I would really like to use class dojo so that the students can see their progression in class in real time. They will be able to have that sense of reward, and and will inspire them to continue to progress. I also love the idea of using Kahoot. If certain students didn't have a phone/computer to partake, I would simple par the student up in groups so that they could all collaborate.
