When I first downloaded Twitter, I was 14. I really had no idea what I was doing. Fortunately, I was able to communicate with some of my favorite artists from around the world, which I thought was super cool. Twitter is a great way to network in a not-so-serious way. You can use it as a casual way to communicate with people through hashtags and memes.
The digital divide is quite interesting. It affects students in school because some students can't afford the digital privileges some of us have. Poverty is a big cause of the digital divide and this is unfortunate due to the fact that it is just a class issue. When I am teaching I want to be mindful of if I am teaching children who can't afford any of this.
Software-wise, I want my students to be able to experience Microsoft home. I would like my students to use these because they are essential to having an educational career, as we generally use these. I would also like my children to have kindle. Kindle is the future and will keep students interested in reading. I believe reading to be an essential part of learning consistently, as well as creativity.
