When visiting a school website, they had the information you would expect to see displayed. There is a parent portal, a school news/update page, a calendar of school events, staff directory and more. It also has the contact information of some of the administration, making it easy for parents or students to reach out to them. You can also find the lunch menu, after school programs, and sports page.( https://cym.leeschools.net/ ) I see myself using technology in the classroom as a way to be more efficient. There are many different tools a teacher can use. Personally, I see myself using tools like ChatGPT, google calender, and different academic enrichment games.

Now, I have expanded my use of social media and try to use it as a tool to expand my personal learning network. I like to get create inspiration off of Pinterest, coming up with cool activities and designs that I can use in my projects. I use Instagram less, and now like to use LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a great way to make connections and meet people in your field. It helps to open up work opportunities.  2. I would say that growing up, I went to a digitally rich school. For as long as long as I can remember, technology has always been incorporated in my classrooms. I think the use of technology throughout my K-12 journey definitely helped to prepare me for college. For example, I had to take a DIT class in high school. In this class I learned how to navigate my way through excel, word, and PowerPoint, earning certifications in all three. The knowledg...
