Good afternoon and welcome back!! As per usual, grab your iced coffee and let's get started!!

This week we're going to talk about academic softwares for students. When thinking about what I would want my own students to use, I had to think back to my high school days and what my teachers had me use. I went to a high school where everyone actually had their own ipad so we actually used a lot of different softwares. Two specifically that I would want to use with my future classroom are Khan Academy and Google drive. The first software of Khan Academy is a tool that offers a lot of extra videos and practices that I used specifically for math. Math was the one subject I struggled with and the tools that Khan Academy offers really helped me get the extra practice that I wasn't getting in class. The other software of Google drive is one that I still use up in college. It allows me to store so many different things from pictures to documents to powerpoint. I can also allow other people to collaborate on those documents which is super helpful in school with group projects. I have experienced a ton of useful softwares in my years, but of them all I think these two are my top favorites.

Now when it comes to my Twitter experience, I am not sure how beneficial it has been truthfully. The one thing I will say is that I have come across and shared some really interesting articles, but I have not interacted with too many people. Either way, I think it is a great place to find articles and see other educator's opinions on different techniques and software. I think it would be beneficial in a classroom setting, but I think my students would have to be invested in finding people to follow and interact with.

Have a great week and feel free to tune in next week to "Chat with Lucy"!!! :)
