Creating could be supported by using formulas to develop understandings about particular parts of lectures. Teachers could support the evaluation process by having an article posted within the power point and asking the students to discuss the key points of the article. Analyzing could be used by having students answer short questions about certain slides to quiz them on their understanding. Applying could be in the form of students making their own power point to demonstrate the ideas that they've already learned. Understanding could be executed by students putting into their own words what they have learned from each slide and summarizing the key points. Remembering what kinds of things were taught on power points in bulleted lists or acronyms to make sure that the information was absorbed could also be a useful tool.

People who are blind may use a microphone to input their thoughts into the computer to make words. Someone who does not have good motor skills might use a trackball to navigate computer home screens. Text-to-speech technology can also help those who can not read well understand key concepts they might not understand otherwise. I personally have never seen anyone use these technologies. Adaptive technologies might become a problem if it disrupts other students. It could also be problematic if a student needs to use such technologies but the school district can not afford to give them these needed adjustments. Students might end up not passing classes simply because they do not have the tools to do so.

The web page design assignment helped me understand new ways to incorporate important information. I enjoyed being able to access the resources I might need in the future and coming up with fun ways to put information out the the public. I would like to be able to understand next time how to incorporate something like a google calendar that parents could sync their devices to automatically. I might also like to have a page for students and for parents so that each gets their own benefits. I will definitely be able to use this for my own future class so that I can keep everyone up-to-date with the lessons that are currently going on in my classroom.
