At the first layer of Bloom's Taxonomy, remember, the student must be able to recall information that is provided by the presentation. In order to accomplish this I would incorporate key terms throughout the presentation that can be easily associated with definition. The second level of explanation would be where the definitions comes in. By providing definitions for the key terms it further explains the information the students need to know. The third level is Apply, in order to represent this in a PowerPoint I would supply questions to the students that would test the knowledge they should have obtained. Four the fourth level of Analyze, the students should be able to draw connections between ideas. In order to accomplish this I would create an empty Venn diagram used to compare and contrast. The fifth level of Evaluate, requires the students to defend their own ideas on the subject. To accomplish this I would provide opinionated questions on the PowerPoint to spark a debate with the students. Te sixth and final layer of Create, requires the students to design their own original work. In order to accomplish this goal I would have the students create their own PowerPoint projects that involve their ideas on the topic and present them to the class.
Adaptive technologies are used in order to help students with disabilities progress through their education. A good example of such technologies are computers that can read text to students who are blind. This technology allows for blind students to read online texts from website and eBooks so the students don't need to use braille to read the actual text. One issue that could arise from the technology is that certain words pronounced by computer generated voices are harder to understand. This could result in a misinterpretation of the knowledge that students should be obtaining, but would then miss out on.
From the web design project I learned the basic aspects that accompany web design as a whole. The basics involving setting up different pages for one webpage and being able to navigate to those pages. Other things include incorporating hyperlinks onto the page, and creating symbols or buttons that interact as those hyperlinks. Rather than just having a bunch of blue words on the page, an icon can provide the same necessary information. I could improve my website the next time I have to make one by including more imagery and providing a scene more pleasing to the eye. In my career a website could be used a hub for my students to go to in order to view announcements and ask question to either me or one another. It could be like a message board with an educational twist to it.

I like your idea of creating an interactive website where students can post comments and questions. The cooler your site, the more likely students will visit it at home. And think of all the other apps/software/websites you could link to.
