I haven't been exposed to too much of accessible technology because I've gone to really small and pretty much under-accommodated schools my whole life (small private school with not many facilities, and a community college with not many students. etc). But I have seen a few technology aids that are really cool. For example, I've seen text-to-speech software before. I worked at Publix up until a few weeks ago, and since I'm from Lakeland (where Publix is from), we do a lot of experimental stuff in our stores back home and a lot of cool programs. For example, for a couple weeks we had a few vision impaired students work in the store for a little while. Also, we hire many disabled people. I'm really proud of Publix for doing that. One really sweet guy who went to school in Flagler and would come home for summers is blind and has a phone he uses for text-to-speech aids. Usually they're baggers. A hindrance in the classroom can simply be getting the funding for getting the aid materials. But thankfully technology is becoming cheaper and more accessible so hopefully that won't be a problem in the future.

So here's my website's picture and here's the link:

You can't see much of the rest of it because the home screen page is so large haha. But I really like the feel of it! I think the only thing that I would change is that just next time I'll add more stuff to it and edit a little bit more. I've used weebly before but it was a couple of years ago, so I mainly just forgot how to do a few things. But then when I started perusing the editing tools it wasn't too hard.

I really do like Diigo. I think I personally like Evernote better because I have more experience with it but we'll see. I have to start a research paper for my history senior seminar soon and I really think I'll be using these tools because they're super helpful. I mainly just learned about how on site annotation and highlighting can be helpful when referring back to a source. On Diigo multiple people can collaborate on annotations, though, whereas Evernote isn't exactly the same. So I think Diigo is better for group work but Evernote is better for more personal stuff.

See you guys next week!
