When I first downloaded twitter I had no idea how to use it. I wasn't sure if my status consisted of me directly @'ing someone or just sharing my thoughts with the general public. At first, my twitter consisted of me following celebrities and my friends. Now I have chosen to follow political figures, my friends, and funny profiles that post jokes and memes. Along with my personal twitter, I also have an educational twitter that consists of me interacting with other students in my major and professors from my university.
The Digital Divide affects the students success in school because different students have different knowledge about technology and some students may not have any knowledge on technology at all. One of the main causes of the digital divide is the division of socioeconomic cultures and being aware that not everyone is financially stable and have access to technologies. As an educator, you need to be aware that there are going to be students within your classroom who are not as fortunate as the others and are not able to have as much exposure to technology as others.
Two of the academic softwares that I would like to be available in my future classroom is Carnegie Learning and IReady Math. These two softwares are focused on mathematics and are both resources that students can use by monitoring their own work and by working at their own pace. These are softwares that I have used as a student as have seen students in today's generation have used successfully as well.
