I acquired a lot of new skills while working on the Web Design assignment. Such as design skills, as well as understanding of how website setups works. I used the design principles of proximity to align the images and text so that they look cohesive and good. I also used similar texts and colors to make the website look uniform. The biggest thing I didn't like about the website assignment is integrating the different features as it was complicated sometimes to set it up.  Such as integrating the social media into my website as well as the calendar setup. I would use the knowledge of website design in the future to create my own website and already know the process so that it would be easier in the future. 


I would use QR codes for extra credit purposes, it can be a mini activity related to the subject or part of a easter egg hunt. The student can scan it and be redirected to a checklist and an extra credit assignment. This will be a self-guided worksheet or a quiz on the subject that we are discussing.  I could also use it to make it easier for students to get homework or any important information that I am presenting them. 

Case: I plan on teaching elementary school and maybe using generative AI for a more productive classroom. Generative an ethical case related to educational technology use
Case
Ethical Case: “The AI Writing Buddy” Scenario: Ms. Rivera, a 4th-grade teacher, introduces a generative AI tool called WordPal to help students with creative writing. The tool can suggest ideas, improve word choice, and correct grammar. Her goal is to make writing more enjoyable and less intimidating for her students. After a few weeks, she notices a few issues: Some students rely heavily on WordPal and begin copying full paragraphs rather than writing their own ideas. Parents raise concerns that their children’s voices are being “lost” because AI is changing how they write. The school’s technology policy does not yet address generative AI, so it’s unclear what’s appropriate use or what data WordPal might collect from students. One student’s personal information was accidentally entered into WordPal when prompted to “write a story about yourself,” raising potential privacy concerns under COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act).

In order to appraoch this case I would first inform students that this is wrong and would make it harder for them to learn in the future. Writing in their own voice is important for their own development and they lose that skill if they don't work on it. If that doesn't work I will be strict on AI use and will reprimand students with bad grades for using AI to write their papers. Multiple use of AI in paper could result in suspension and further actions. The ethical dilemma of children privacy is not something I would be able to solve or work on. It's something that has to come from government or AI company legal process.

I hope to learn how to utilize technology in classrooms to help students learn. I want to learn about the different tools that teachers can use and also about the methods that they use to prevent student distractions. I would love to learn how to work these systems more efficiently and how to connect projectors or setup smartboards.  I will apply it in the future for my professor position, and it will help me with my professional as well as personal learning and work related to technology in class.  I grew up in an digital age so I have a lot of experience using computers and smartboards in school.  In middle school we learned how to use the computer and often used it for a lot of classes. It supported education but also made it hard to focus on the class with all the distractions. The use of smartboards helped the teacher with teaching as they didn't have to use chalkboards and made it easier to present information to students. In high school, a lot of homework and class...

My experience with Word has always been divided. On one hand I like the multitude of functions it has compared to other software.  Like they more advanced page setups, AI integration, and just more play and ability to work with your design. On the other hand a lot of its functions are clunky and its not super friendly. All through my high school years I was mainly using Google Docs due to its simplicity and accessibility. I didn't need to buy a subscription or go through an app and multiple steps to write my paper. Google docs was just far more convenient. My worst experience with Word would be when I was working on a business project and any one small change to a page made everything change too, it might have been due to inexperience but that experience has been stuck with me.  Also whenever I tried to pdf the file everything would move around too much. That's why I stuck with Docs for majority of my high school years. At FSU after getting more accustomed and used to Microsof...

  My experience with blogging so far has been mixed. I think I like to write blogs and I would like to develop this skill further. At the moment I like the ability to express my voice in writing, as well as develop my writing skills. These skills could help me in my career as well as school life. I don’t like blogging because of the mental blocks you can have, especially with writing something creative or not factual that you can go off.  As of right now it's not that bad, because I have a prompt to write about.  I have learned a lot from blogging but most importantly I have learned to express and format my thoughts on paper. It helped me learn how to do that best and what programs I can have in writing. I also learned how to manage my work and write every week which you would generally do with a blog or any content uploading.  My experience and thoughts on AI in classrooms is divisive. On one hand it allows a lot of methods and tools for creative or organizational l...
