The Flipped Classroom: This approach is an unstructured way to teach outside of a traditional classroom setting. For example, the teacher and student may meet in the real classroom but the teacher may record the sessions or have outside notes about the lesson available online to the students. This benefits both absent students and students who want a better understanding of lecture material. I believe this is a great way for students to have an abundance of classroom resources and learning material to their advantage. The Digital Divide: The digital divide is the idea that with more and more technology being incorporated in life itself the more the gap grows between people with access and those without. This means that everyone may not have access to equal education or educational resources.

Since my future classroom will hopefully be kindergarten to first grade there isn't much software for them to personally use. Nor do I personally believe that a lot of technology should be implemented everyday in that young of a group. But, there is plenty of academic software that I can utilize as a teacher. Of course Microsoft products are on my list so that I can effectively create fun learning worksheets, lesson plans, and effectively email the same mail to hoards of parents. I think concept mapping may be helpful for me because sometimes I have trouble being organized with my thoughts so inspiration or bubbl may also be helpful. That may also be applicable to teaching with as well to display connections to the kids.  If I'll be perfectly honest I am far from a social media person. I'm 21 and don't even have snapchat or anything similar. It took me a good year to finally download Instagram. It's just not my cup of tea. So, naturally it's hard for me to take...
