Blog Journal #4

 1.) My experience with blogging has been smooth and easy thus far. I have not had any trouble navigating the website and uploading my blog post. I think this is an easy and efficient way to write information and share it to others. One con I do have about the website is that sometimes I do forget to look at comments/do not know where to find them. Something that I have learned is to be more open and expressive with my writing, blog post from my experience is a form of journaling for people. This has allowed my to get more comfortable with writing that will be seen by people.

2.) An interesting Web 2.0 tool that I have discovered from this class is epic!. This website is a fun and interactive site students 8 and younger can access to read over 20k books of all levels and genres. This is an easy to use tool teachers can use to help their students get into reading and get better with reading comprehension. It has quizzes and dictionaries to test their skills and grow their vocabulary. The one thing I do not like about the site is that teachers do have to pay to get access to all tools.

epic!

3.) I think AI is a useful tool that teachers can use to help give them guidance and ideas on activities and curriculum. However, I believe AI should be used in moderation and should not be the only source teachers use to get ideas for the classroom. I tried to use it to give me ideas and activities for students if the lesson was reading comprehension, however, I did not take what they gave exactly I changed it to fit what I think would be best. I used it as a base to start thinking but then incorporated my own ideas and opinions. Next time I use AI I would have it help guide me to track students progress by making e reports on what we have covered and the assignments we have done.

4.) I might use AI to help get more creative ideas flowing in regards to classroom activities. AI can make activities look more enhanced and fun. It can also create games that are curriculum based to ensure kids re having fun while learning. I would address ethical concerns by not copying exactly what AI comes up with but taking it as a first step to come up with ideas. Teachers should adjust and add to what AI does to ensure it fits what the students are learning and all levels the class is at.

 1.) Some new skills I acquired through the web design assignment include being able to make a website, I personally have never made a website so the whole thing was new to me. I feel like I still have a lot to learn and improve on. Some design tools I used while making the website included, incorporating a CC which I have not actively down before but now I feel confident doing so. The next thing I added was incorporating my instagram through embedding the profile. Lastly I added a map through weebly, I have never done this before but now I understand how it works. I liked being able to use the website, however, I found the overall assignment confusing and difficult to complete. I do not think weebly was very easy to work with, I feel like on a different platform I might have more success. I do believe website will be useful in my career because it is an easy way to share important and up to date information with parents.  2.) I would use QR codes in my classroom by having one...

 I have never had an issue using MS word in the past, however, I prefer using Pages. In high school and college I have always had to use MS word, but I still used Pages because it is easier for me to navigate and I could just export it to a word document. Overall, if I have to use Word I would never be opposed to it and would still be able to navigate it almost as well as Pages. I prefer pages because since I got my computer it naturally had this software, so I just starting using and became more comfortable with it.  The ISTE Standards for Educators I chose was 2.7 Analyst, this standard says that teachers are responsible for ensuring that their students receive the correct in formation through technology to enhance their learning. A question I still have is what are some techniques teachers can do to ensure they support their students? An idea I have for this standard is to make sure that the way teachers deliver the data is easy to understand for the students. This was mean...
