 Bonjour, my name is Stephen Fryson III and no, I’m not from France but I’m currently learning French. I’m on my second decade of life, and all praise goes to God for bringing me this far. Lord willing I’ll see many more decades. If you can’t guess from my last 2 sentences, I am indeed a Christian. My passion is in film and in acting, and like most actors…I am unemployed, for now. So Lord willing you all will be able to see me on the big screen sometime soon.  

Of course I have some experience with technology in the educational setting, I feel as though it’ll be impossible not to. However my experience is little to none  in my opinion. I’ve used my phone  and school computers on numerous occasions. Mainly using apps such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Canvas, Canva. I’ve also used various social media platforms that includes Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok(unfortunately). 

 

Google is always a go to for me when I’m looking for answers to a question. Another network I explore heavily is of course, YouTube. YouTube is great when looking for a step by step or an explanation on how something is done. YouTube is great for me because I’m more of an visual learner. Unfortunately most of my learning networks are online, occasionally I will come across a word or two I do not know the meaning of, so I would crack open the dictionary and search for it

  I decided to look at one of my formal teachers page from Leon High School, and I surely was not disappointed. While attending Leon, I did not use my teachers web page to my advantage like I should have. I see how resourceful they can be, for example Mr. Robby Read currently has a bio so the students and parents can be a little more familiar with him. He also has an announcement, important dates, and deadline page on his website. This is important so all of his students and parents can be updated on what's due and or coming up in the near future.  https://www.leonschools.net/Page/22542  I envision using technologies that are cost efficient as well convenient to all my students no matter their circumstances. One being a text messaging tool that would allow me to send updates and reminders for when things are due via text, through Tatango and Twilio. Another one would be a fun gaming one such as Kahoot to make learning more fun and enjoyable. Lastly, I would use a social media tool

Prior to this week, I had zero experience with Diigo. To be completely honest I really don't understand the purpose of the site. I haven't used the site but only two times, so my knowledge of the site is very limited. However, I do like the bookmark feature because I can bookmark a website and share it to my group page so others can see.  Blogging to me is fun, even though I've only blogged for educational purposes. I like the idea of "free writing," which in my opinion is the art of just writing or typing your thoughts out without there being a right or wrong answer. It's something about writing my thoughts out without the fear of being right or wrong which is ""freeing." I learned that you can add visuals to your blog which is fantastic, so your blogs can be more digestible and not so text heavy.  Weebly is a Web 2.0 tool that I may use in the future for teaching. Weebly is a user-friendly website that help users build a professional website.

  As far as my "early experience" with Twitter goes, I have little to no experience at all. In 2018 I downloaded the app for acting and business purposes but could never dive into it because I didn't really know how to use it. Twitter is surely my least used app or social media platform. If I learned how to use it better then I could connect with other actors, casting directors, and directors. However; as of right now, there is no audience I connect with.   In my opinion there are only two causes to the digital divide,  the first being the classroom and the second being society. Because countries are in competition with one another they push and explorer new ways of learning which created more technology based learning. Society is almost the same way, except we as humans try to create an easier way to communicate, learn, and go about our lives. One of the ways to effectively do this is by creating new technologies to make life easier. They advertise these technologies and
