My twitter experience so far has not been what I thought it would be. I realized that it is more difficult for me to interact with other twitter users because I never know what to say. I also lack creativeness when it comes to thinking of topics to tweet. Even though I have good ideas, I do not know how to implement them into social media. Although, I have benefited from Twitter because of the information in education it would provide me.
While creating my Web Page Design, I learned new ways to design information and organize topics. I liked how easy it was to insert images and texts. I found it convenient that the website automatically aligned the text and images for me. However, I did not know how to change the font and format of my text. It was also confusing for me to edit the design of my lists and topics. If I knew how to manage the tools better, then I probably would be able to make a more visually pleasing website. In the future, I probably will not use weebly because of its inability to give me easy access to editing and developing.
Working with Diigo these past few weeks has taught me how to annotate websites and save bookmarks. While this application was interesting to use in class, I do not think it will be helpful in my future classroom. I do not think this source will be needed to help my students' learning experience. It is a little difficult to understand and use and I do not think the application is necessary for my classroom. If I am in a group with other educators, however, Diigo may be helpful to collaborate and share sources.

I understand your struggle with twitter and it is common that people don't like some certain technologies. I will say it is the design of the twitter activity is a bit too open so that some of students, like you, may find it hard to follow. Maybe a more focused twitter discussion will be better.
