I googled local schools within Leon County and looked at Leon High School's website. The teacher's pages were easily accessible and alphabetically organized by name. Obviously Leon High School is home to many students in the grades 9-12. The teacher websites included a lot of helpful information including syllabus, assignments, calendars, student resources, and even pictures!
Digital Divide
The digital divide in regard to education essentially refers to the unequal experience that various students have with technology. For example, a student from a wealthier family may have access to lots of technology at home and excel in technology based learning while students without this same privilege may do the opposite. As a teacher, I would be inclined to allow students to do more technology based assignment during school hours when it is ensured that all students have the same resources and paper assignments for homework to be fair.
My experience with Twitter has been very beneficial so far. I had no idea that there were so many academic and teacher based Twitter accounts and would never have thought to use this particular social media platform as a PLN. I have mainly interacted with my classmates but also with academic accounts. The main struggle I have faced is keeping up with all of the posts but I believe this can solved by turning on post notifications. I believe Twitter will continue to help me in my future careers as I can continue to use and expand this PLN!

I commented on Kemory's post in regard to the teacher websites on the Leon High School website. I also commented on Brittany's post and focussed on her experience with Twitter.
