I think I acquired lots of new skills, such as user interface design, when putting together the website design. That was my first time making a website and I focused a lot on the CRAP principles. I used them as kind of an outline for how I wanted my website to look, ensuring that my design would be visually appealing and easy to navigate. It helped me determine the layout and make it accessible to everyone visiting it. I liked how you could get creative with it and make it your own. I see myself using these skills as a future educator because I can create a website to facilitate communication between parent and teachers. 



QR codes can be a resourceful tool when implemented correctly. There are several ways to get creative with it. Some ideas that come to mind when thinking of different uses for QR codes in the classroom are for surveys/forms. You can create QR codes for parents to scan that lead them to any classroom forms they may have to fill out, such as permission slips. They could also be used to help fundraise. You can share the QR code with people who may be interested in donating. 

Case: A school district has implemented an AI-powered learning analytics platform to track student performance and engagement in real-time. The system collects data from various sources, including classroom participation, assignment submissions, and online activity, to generate insights aimed at improving individual student outcomes and tailoring educational interventions. While the technology promises to enhance personalized learning and provide support to struggling students, it raises several ethical concerns. 

To address the ethical concerns that come with the classroom use of AI, I would focus on developing clear policies that prioritize and protect student privacy. It is important to establish clear data privacy policies so that you know what data is being collected and stored, and for what. I think it is also important to prioritize transparency and informed consent. This means keeping parents in the loop and up to date with any new updates or changes in what's going on.

    Hi Angela! I really liked the design of your website because it follows the CRAP design principles, making it look very cohesive and organized. I liked the way you displayed imagery throughout the site to go alongside the text because it makes the information presented more clear and easier to understand.

    Hey Angela! I enjoyed looking over your website. The layout of it is very nice and follows the CRAP elements very well. My only criticism is that I wish you used a link shortener, but otherwise very nice!

9/5/2024      I am taking this class as part of my education minor requirements. This is my first semester taking any education classes, and I am excited to learn more about the field. From this class specifically, I hope to learn about different technological tools that I can implement in the classroom. I want to learn how to use them to my advantage and create collaborative projects for my students.       Prior to this class, I already had a pretty good background with technology. Technology has been used in the classroom since I was in elementary school. Computer labs, chrome-books, smart boards; I always had some sort of technology to rely on in school. I think technology can make it easier to complete certain work and access important information. When used correctly, it is a great learning tool.      As a psychology major, I like to learn about the study of the human brain behavior. There are many tools offered at FSU that support ...

  1.  Copyright is a form of protection for an individuals work, it gives them exclusive rights to distribute it and ensures that they will receive proper credit when others use it. As a teacher, I would make sure to teach my students about copyright laws and fair use. When creating my own materials I would make sure to use public resources and properly attribute any content I get from a third-party. For students, I would encourage them to use original ideas and teach them how to properly cite other's work. I have always been aware of copyright laws and fair use, as I have always been taught about plagiarism and how to avoid it.  2.  While technology is a great tool to have and can be very beneficial to both teachers and students, it is important to acknowledge technology implementation issues that may arise. One issue is that of student's privacy. It is important to protect student's information and academic records. One solution to this issue could be to implement ...
