Blog Post #7

    During the course of this semester I have had the opportunity to play around with different technologies and adaptive tech is no different. This technology allow for people with disabilities to use tech normally like anybody else and I find this very cool because although I personally know anybody with a disability I believe that everybody should have the opportunity to learn to use tech. An example of this tech would be a screen reader, this allows the computer to read what is on the screen. This technology is cool because with it blind individuals are able to use computers normally without much problem. I do however see a problem with this because as it stands now this tech can be expensive and requires a computer so lower class schools and kids may not be able to afford this even at a lower cost than 20 years ago.

    From working with my website designer I learned a few tricks that I though were pretty cool. I really liked learning how to design a website first and foremost because in my option its a skill everybody should have with how technologically advanced the world has become. I also liked creating a website for a museum because that is what I hope my future job is and it allowed me to put my interest on one website. I however didn't like all the tools that cost money and I understand that you have to make money but some basic features like HD Video were not available. From this I learned how to in-bed YouTube videos which was pretty cool. Next time I hope I can make it  little longer and I also hope that in the future I can learn how to put word and PDFs in the webpage. http://chipnettina.weebly.com/

    From using Diigo I learned a few different things. First, I did not know that you could have a cloud sharing bookmarking tool that could allow you to share your bookmarks and notes with others in your group. I was also not aware that you could use the tool to highlight right on a webpage and then save those notes for your group which is very cool. Finally I had no idea that Diiigo was an app on the google app store and that it was free. I expect pretty much all cool tech to cost money and this was no exception however they surprised me and this tool is a great one and its free. This tool could allow me to share websites and news with friends or if I do work in a museum or even in a classroom it would allow me to share my sites with co-workers so they could also use it.
