Assistive technologies can help disabled learners still be able to use computers.  For example someone with a physical disability may not be able to physically type, but through a voice recognition system they can still operate technology.  I've never used this before but I've seen it used in movies before.  I feel like this could be a challenge to use in the classroom because while everyone else is silently working, the kid using the vocal recognition software would be speaking and that could make him/her feel uncomfortable.

I really enjoyed designing my own website.  It made me want to start a personal one on fashion or something like that!  Navigating Weebly was not difficult and it taught me the basics of building a website.  It also taught me that a website would be very helpful for students because you can attach so many links and resources to it.  Putting the pictures in the spots I wanted then was difficult at first, but I played around with it and figured it all out.  (quinelaine.weebly.com)

Working with Diigo has also been really cool.  I love being able to annotate and share with our group.  This would be so useful for teachers all teaching the same subject.  You could share resources, ideas, and lessons with each other.  Diigo could also be used for a whole class that is working on a project to share information and helpful articles.  Overall this is a very useful and cool tool that I look forward to using more in the future.
