I'm pretty impressed by adaptive technologies, particularly the ways in which they help bring the education for students with serious disabilities up to par with the rest of the system. As Americans we are guranteed a quality and unobstructed education, I feel thats an integral part of the pursuit of happiness that was insured by the people who founded this country. In the past many students with disabilities were cordoned off from student's without any hindrances or even denied an education, but I see that we've begun to overcome that with our technological advances. That brings some joy to me knowing that a child with a disability will be able to pursue what is promised to all of us.

Anyways, I set up a website for professional use. It doesn't fit all of the criteria set by the grading rubric, but I tried to make up for that in other ways by adding links to places I have been published, as well as a gallery of inspiration where I'll add links and images that have spoken to me. I left a lot of room to grow, and I actually expect to use this going forward, and even upgrade my plan with weebly. I learned some pretty useful skills, just through learning to navigate and interact with simplified web building tools like this. I definitely want to get some more personal pictures up on the sight. Unfortunately I don't have any just yet, besides the one from my "Open" reading, but that'll change over the course of the week. I'm definitely going to shop around the other well known web development sites and see which one works best for me. It's important to have a homebase for your internet presence in poetry. I know I use other poet's websites a lot to keep up with what they're doing.

I've learned a few things from Diigo, mostly how to actually work Diigo. It was a little complicated at first, but I see the potential of the platform. I like that it can be used as a hive-mind aggregator of cool content for a project of group of people. I can see myself using this with a widespread group of people to explore the internet in search of resources for a research project, or in general just as a place where we can say "Hey! Look at this cool artist I found!"
