. The definition of adaptive technologies is in the name, it is technology that changes over time. Since learning and the way certain students learn changes over time, adaptive technologies come into play to meet the changing demands of student learning. For example, while blogging has been around for a while, teachers 20 years ago wouldn't have been able to use Twitter the same way it is used in education today. I use Twitter on a daily basis for both personal and educational use and I know teachers that have used the platform as inspiration for class assignments and as a part of assignments themselves. A challenge I see with using adaptive technologies is that they sometimes can fall behind due to the rapid changes in student learning. . I would use PowerPoint to support the cognitive and affective domains by making a presentation that relates the concepts I am teaching at that particular time with concepts that my students are familiar with. This association would promote reme...

. As a student, I have used Microsoft Word mainly to write the essays I have had for my classes. Last year, at my previous college (I am a sophomore transfer to Florida State), I took a class that was similar to ENC 1101 and we worked solely in Word for all of our essays which were about 1-2 a week. It was new to me at first, using Word but by the end of the class, I had become familiar enough to finally use those student perks and download a Microsoft Word application onto my Mac.

One of the main experiences I have had with copyright and fair use of materials is professors providing pdf files of textbook chapters in the first week or so of class while students are in the process of getting their textboo...

. Through personal experience with high school classrooms, I really only see myself using data collection to conduct surveys like an end-of-the-year survey to see if students enjoyed being in my class and liked or disliked the assignments I provided, or a survey to see which book(s) my students would prefer to read since I would like to teach English and will probably have many books that my students will read throughout the year. I could see many more applications for data collection and/or reporting schools for younger age levels. . Since most of mine and my classmates' blogs are on similar topics, I found it interesting to see their different opinions on the same topics. It was also interesting to see fellow classmates who desired to be teachers talk about the technologies we have learned about and how their applications differed from mine. Although I desire to teach high school, I have been exposed to the inner workings of elementary school classrooms which is an area a lot o...
