       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.
