I don't use twitter very much, and only use it for assignments. I feel like I pay too much attention to social media when I have it and try to use it seriously, and find my life improved overall when I am not spending my time absorb in my phone or mindlessly scrolling on the computer. I see the benefits of increased communication, especially in states of crisis or when disaster strikes the amount of time it takes to reach people becomes more valuable than ever. But that is not enough for me to give up part of my day to it. I typically use reddit if I want to see what is happening in the world, and I don't want more than one platform to keep track of.

My website isn't finished yet, so I will include a link and analysis of a website I've created in the past for another class. I learned how to set up an interface in a manner that is pleasing to the visitor, and how easy it is to create a free website via wix. I learned how to set up multiple pages that have multiple kinds of media. Websites are very functional as they can provide a multimodal experience on a single topic, and have the opportunity to utilize text, pictures, video, etc.
Here's a screenshot; feel free to visit, although it doesn't work properly when I try it.

I've worked for the special olympics for a number roof years and have sen first hand assistive technologies used to assist and maintain the capability of persons with disabilities. I'm not sure how we are defining adaptive and assistive technologies, but I have witnessed multiple examples of adaptive technologies assist athletes with disabilities. It can be challenging to bring outdated classrooms up to speed with emerging adaptive technologies because it requires funding and somebody willing to learn how to use, teach, and implement new technologies. 

See y'all l8r, and god bless my friend.
