      Powerpoints can be used to summarize different things and give people time to soak in the information that is given to them. While using these powerpoints and applying them to Bloom's taxonomy of learning, cognitive senses come into play as it becomes easy to think because of the fact that it is conceptualized in sections rather than thrown in all at once. The psychomotor domain keeps a steady motion when it comes to learning due to the aforementioned concept of sectioning the details of what may be studied. For example, talking about a movie could be one of those concepts. From the beginning to the end, you can create transitions that can smooth discussions throughout the presentation.

I chose Stack Overflow because it is a free and easy forum where you can learn new things within a community of people with the same interests. Also, if you have questions you can get answers to further assist with solving potential issues.

       Adaptive technology is created with the purpose of expanding learning for those with disabilities and maintaining their needs and accommodations. Magnifiers are used to help boost vision, and amplifiers as well as other tools can be used to help the student progress with his or her learning abilities. I have never seen anyone need assistance with any tools, but extra tutoring helped smooth the process of learning for a few people with said disabilities. I don't see any challenges that would hinder the process, but adjusting to them may take some time.

      I really enjoyed the web design assignment because it reminded me of how super creative it was making pages like MySpace and Tumblr. Doing this assignment gave it an extra twist and made me get creative with education if I were to teach. The one thing I did not like initially about working the site was how at times it thought I was still editing. In the end result, after a few tries, I finally got the site published. All in all, I really enjoyed it.

      With Diigo, I learned how to utilize the experience of editing and adding in sticky notes to certain sections of the website. It is really helpful because throughout college I have encountered classes where I have digital readings, and it helps to highlight certain notes to go back to when studying for exams and other assignments. Research is a useful need for Diigo and I really enjoyed using it this semester.

ILP "Edmodo" Design

        My independent learning project will be centered around Edmodo. I like how you can create quizzes and other homework assignments on one platform, set due dates, as well as the length of time that a student can use to take a quiz. My assignments are relatively easy for a 9th grade language arts class.
