  For a class of college students, a great way to get feedback from students as a teacher is through anonymous surveying. Either I will use a Google form or Canvas, because they are applications I am, and I’m sure my students will be very comfortable with them. The survey will be similar to the surveys that FSU does at the end of every semester. The students will rate the class, the teaching methods, and how much they learned out of five stars. Something I found interesting about reviewing other people’s blogs was that everyone had similar stances and but answered in different ways. It really shows how they interpret the question and which parts they pay attention to. I also noticed that a lot of people format their blogs differently, particularly to fit their style. It really helps me get to know the other students in this class A technology skill that I’m interested in learning is getting more familiar with Canva. The first time I used Canva was in this class and it was to make t...

The lockdown started spring break of sophomore year and because of that, we had to switch to online learning. It was simultaneously hard and easy. It was hard to pay attention to lectures when I’m in my room, bundled up in bed. However, I liked it, because I had the freedom to watch tv in between classes and I didn’t have to commit so much time. As a teacher, I will probably find a way to have students more engaged when doing class online  Open educational resources are learning resources that anyone can access and can use any time. They are also typically distributed online. One online resource that I found about OER is creativecommons.org. The blog post I’m reading is about how Creative Commons joined the Civil Society letter telling the U.S to be more open towards the uses of Ai. https://creativecommons.org/2024/03/28/cc-joins-civil-society-letter-urging-u-s-to-support-openness-and-transparency-in-ai/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=cc-joins-civil-society-lett...

 I have learned a lot from the web design project. One skill I learned was how to embed a calendar, using Google. I remember using similar skills during my last portfolio project, when I connected my twitter to my bogspot, so it kind of reminded me of that. Overall, it was a bit challenging, since I haven't had experience creating a website. However, I can see skills like this being highly beneficial in my future career when I would like to create a website.  My website The AI tools I primarily use are Siri and Alexa. I don't use these every day, especially Alexa. I use Siri to answer questions, make calls, and send messages for me when I'm driving. Another form of AI I've used is Snapchat AI, but I've only used it when it first came out and I just liked to have conversations with it. I'm mainly motivated to use Siri, but not all the time. I haven't used Chat GPT in any of my classes, but I have used it for fun once. I first knew about it when my late boyfri...

 My experience using Diigo was interesting to say the least. It was difficult to use at first, but after watching the tutorials, I was able to get my assignment done. The only problem I still have with it is that I couldn't share the sticky notes I write. I know which button to press and where it is, but for some reason, it doesn't work for me. Once I start using this more, it will grow on me. My experience blogging in this class has been great. It's a pretty unique idea for a class assignment, especially when we are prompted to talk about opinions and experiences. This allows me to express what I've learned and reflect on that knowledge. On Blogger/Blogspot, I familiarized myself with the "Layouts" tab and learned how to add things to the sidebar there. An interesting Web 2.0 tool that I might use when teaching is IXL. I've used it in my math class from 7-8th grade, but it can be used for all subjects. Basically, you select a grade level, subject and sect...

 I got Instagram when I was in elementary school, when my friend introduced it to me. We were at Dicks Wings for dinner with our parents and other family friends, when my friend showed me this social media app she got. I thought it was so cool, I downloaded it my iPad. Right when I got it, I followed my friend, as well as other people I knew. I made my first post. It of course, was nothing extravagant, it was just a selfie of my friend and I sitting at our table. The longer I've had it, the better I got at posting. Instead of posting a casual selfie frequently, I started posting photos of my friends and I that other people took, and these would only be on special occasions like birthdays, events, or holidays. Instagram gave me the opportunity to show people I know what I've been up to, see what others are doing, and make new friends with mutuals or my friends' friends. Twitter, on the other hand, I got when I was a freshman or sophomore in high school, So I haven't been...

 On the Florida Computer Science standards, there is a list of standards that each set of grades (ex. Grades 3-5) should be able to master, with the standards increasing by difficulty. One of the benchmarks for Grades 3-5 state that one should identify and use different technology tools for stuff such as data collection, writing and publishing information, and communication. Another one states that one should describe how it's important to collaborate when working on digital projects. I think that since I know how to do these things, I would be able to implement them and teach this to students in 3rd-5th grade. However, I feel like once I start doing it I would get better with time. When I went on CPALMS, I selcted the toolkit for grade 4, because because the standards that I previously described can apply here. For subject, I chose Visual Arts and the benchmark that one should be able to integrate ideas to convey meaning when creating any form of art. This means being able to draw...

 If I become a teacher in the future, I would inform my students on copyright and the consequences of stealing someone else's work. To ensure that they won't do that, I would put in the instructions of all the written assignments that they have to be written in their own words and anything that isn't must have in-text citations. I believe that students should learn and get into the habit of understanding the material to the point where they could interpret it in their own words, because that's an important skill to have, especially if they get tested on this. Also, copying other's work is unethical and if one gets caught, they'll get into a lot of trouble. Cyberbullying is the act of continuously harassing someone intentionally online. Ever since the the birth of online platforms, cyberbullying has sadly become more common. Since this has become a huge problem, I would address this to my future class by simply doing a lesson on it like I would any other one, and...
