 1) Working on the Web Design assignment taught me new skills like layout and color choices. I made sure everything looked balanced by spacing out images and text evenly. I enjoyed being creative, but it was sometimes hard to fit everything together. These skills will help me build nice websites for businesses in the future. 2) One creative way to use QR codes in the classroom is to create a scavenger hunt. Each QR code can be placed around the room, and when students scan them, they find clues or questions related to the lesson. This makes learning fun and interactive. For example, one QR code might lead to a math problem, while another could link to a video explaining a science concept. This way, students stay engaged and learn by exploring. 3)  Case Study: Using Student Data for Teacher Evaluation In this case, a school district uses student performance data to evaluate teachers. While the goal is to improve teaching, there are worries about privacy and fairness. Some teach...

 1) Blogging and particularly using Blogger has been a great experience for me. I never heard of "Blogger" prior to taking this class,  I like how easy it is to set up and write my posts. It's pretty simple to navigate. There really isn't anything I dislike about it it's actually really neat because if it wasn't for this class I probably would not be blogging.  2) A great Web 2.0 tool I might use in teaching is Kahoot! Kahoot lets teachers create fun quizzes that students can answer on their devices. It makes learning exciting and encourages friendly competition among students. I like how it helps students stay engaged and can be used for reviews or assessments. I find that students grasp material better when there is technology involved 3) My first experience with AI were interesting. I used it to brainstorm ideas and create outlines for a paper I was having trouble with. It helped me come up with new suggestions, but sometimes the answers were not quite righ...

 1) One of the Florida Standards that includes technology is the Computer Science Standard 6.CT.1.1. This standard is about using digital tools to solve problems and share ideas. It encourages students to use technology to find information, create solutions, and show their work clearly. I feel ready to teach this standard because I know how to use different digital tools, but I want to learn more to feel completely confident. 2) In the Educator Toolkit, I found resources for 5th grade science. One helpful lesson plan includes hands-on activities that let students experiment with different materials. I think these resources will improve my teaching by providing clear activities that engage students and cater to different learning styles, creating a more interactive classroom. 3) Being a skilled Internet searcher is important for teachers because it allows them to quickly find reliable information for their lessons. This week, I learned about using keywords and filters, which will he...

 1) My experience with Microsoft Word really began in College. I did not use it in grade school from what I can remember. Once or twice during COVID-19 when everyone switched to online for the duration of school in 2020 but more frequently when I entered college is when I started using Microsoft Word daily to complete my assignments. I prefer Microsoft Word over other word processing software, In my opinion, it's easy to navigate and figure out.  2) The ISTE standard that is most meaningful to me is Citizen. I feel that it is important for students to be aware of the effects Online and digital platforms have. While it is a great platform to voice your opinions, it definitely needs to be a subject that students are educated on entirely. As well as being properly shown how technology operates and how to navigate different software systems.  3) The term "Digital native" refers to the young generation and their relationship with technology. I would agree with that term for to...
