I haven't been interacting with a lot of people, but I have been following back people that are also in EME 2040! I really like Twitter to see what current events are going on in the world. Another thing I like about Twitter is being able to connect with others on a social platform. I think Twitter will help me out in the future to make connections with others and see what my associates are up to. I also see it as a unformal social interaction, maybe it will allow me to make friends in the future.
I think the digital divide causes students who come from a poorer school district to not learn as efficiently as those who come from a school district with more resources. In return, it can result in one student being more academically advanced than another. It can also cause a less fortunate student to feel less than another who might be seen as better and cause imposter syndrome. I might experience this if I teach in a school that has less resources than the others which surround it. If this does happen to me, I know I will have to adapt my classroom strategies to try to level the playing field.
Working on Canvas was a little odd while I was doing Assignment 2. I'm not used to being in a group on Canvas and communicating with my group peers through this application. Someone from my group made a GroupMe which was helpful. I didn't like how I wasn't accustomed to using Canvas as a way to collaborate with others, I'm used to making a group on iMessage or GroupMe to communicate with others. With my future students, I will use Canvas to send announcements and also put their assignments online in case they miss a day from school. In addition to this, I think I will also invite their parents to a GroupMe so I can keep them updating on things that are going on in class.
