Overall I would say that my current experience with Twitter is fairly good, if not a perfect one. To be honest, for the most part I think that Twitter isn't my favorite of websites, and for a few reasons- the messages are too short, I'm not a fan of the format, and I largely have difficulties with viewing it as being useful in an academic setting. However, at the very least, I do think that one of Twitter's greatest strengths is in being able to send out a tweet with a prompt for discussion, or at the very least a thought-provoking article with a statement attached that can cause the reader to question and analyze what it is exactly that they are looking at.

As for designing the website, I think that it has given me much better insight to the process of creating and organizing a webpage such as that, while simultaneously also providing a better idea of how it is that these websites should be organized- something that previously I had not actually ventured into experimenting with. I think that this can definitely be used in my next career choice seeing as it is all too important to be able to create webpages for students to properly access and use for information and for assignments, and at the very least I can imagine that a future employer will appreciate my ability to create a webpage.

As for assistive and adaptive technologies, they are currently being used within classrooms in order to not only enrich and enhance students learning environments, but also to help with students that may possess disabilities that could otherwise hinder their ability to learn. I have seen some technologies in the form of smartboards and VR headsets, and the only true challenge that I see to many of these technologies is in their pricing, seeing as most are quite expensive.
