I believe adaptive technology has really come a long way and really benefits people will all types of disabilities. For example there is software that will read aloud what someone wrote and will read aloud other things a student cannot really read. There is amazing technology for students suffering from color blindness,like inverted colors. I have never personally known anyone with a disability that would have required them to have this technology. I,  however, went to school in a district that had a school that was mixed students; half deaf and half not. When I went to see a musical at this school it was interesting that they had a monitor that would act out the musical in American sign language. The students also had various technologies in the classroom that helped them with their disability. A challenge I see in having adaptive technology in my classroom is that I can see other students being distracted by it.

I really liked using Wix for my assignment, however I did have some issues with it. I did not like that sometimes it would take a long time to save my progress and that sometimes it would not automatically save at all. I really like this website, but I don't think it would make a good website for teachers. I think it just isn't smooth enough and cohesive enough to really be a full time academic website. I think next time I can just add pdf links for some things like supplies, calendars, etc just to make it easier on the students to find information.

I really liked Diigo! I have actually been using it for my research paper this semester. I believe it is a hassle to download and everything, but once you have it it is super convenient! I think in the classroom it would be fun to have all the kids on the same article, annotating it together!
