     When I first started working on the website design I struggled with using the platform because I am not that technologically advanced. However, once I started experimenting with the Weebly platform I actually enjoyed creating the website and adding the different elements. In creating the website some design principles, I used were the addition of vibrant colors, visual hierarchy, and navigation. By using vibrant colors, it made the assignment fun and made the website fun to look at. Then, visual hierarchy and navigation made this website easily accessible and easy to find the different sections for parents and students. I disliked that the platform tried to make me pay to be able to create my own link, but overall, I did enjoy the assignment.

    With becoming a teacher QR codes are a great resource to utilize in the classroom and have been used successfully in many classes I have taken. Whether it is for attendance, quizzes, games, or for announcements QR code usage I think is necessary in the classroom. For example, instead of taking paper attendance using a QR code saves paper and also may save time from calling out every student's name. Furthermore, quizzes or quiz games are a fun way to engage the class and a great strategy to get students to join easily by QR codes. Scannable QR codes are a great strategy to complete any assignment in the classroom and should be utilized more. 

Case Study: A third-grade teacher uses an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to grade students’ math assignments and provide feedback. The tool saves the teacher time, but it sometimes gives incorrect feedback and may collect students’ personal information.

I think the ethical solution for this teacher would actually be to not use this AI tool in the classroom. With this tool AI grades assignments while also providing feedback which I think is not good because sometimes AI is wrong and what if it gives students the wrong grades or bad feedback. While I understand this may save the teacher time I think there are better uses for AI that can save them time while still being able to grade important assignments. For example, the teacher could use AI to create assignments so they do not have to spend time creating them and then they can personally grade each student's assignments.

      In this class, I hope to learn a lot about how technology can be beneficial to schools and teachers in their classrooms. I am not the best at technology and hope this class will help me expand my knowledge and abilities to use technology as a useful tool. If used correctly by students and teachers, technology is great and can help make teachers jobs easier and help students gain further understanding and foster their learning. I will apply what I learn about technology in this class to my job field in the future allowing me to use it in the classroom as a guide, help, and learning opportunity for my future students. It is important for future teachers to have knowledge on how to use different technology so that future generations of students can gain the knowledge, allowing them to succeed in school.      Prior to this class, I was never the best at using technology and have had to get help from my friends in the past on more tech-based assignments.

      When researching for this assignment I could not find a teacher page on a school website because with technology now teachers typically use a different informative platform to post any information, they would like parents to see. Information you would typically see on a teacher page include ways to access the teacher like an email, class announcements parents need to know about like a school field trip, or photos of the class so parents can see what their students are doing in class. Furthermore, teachers may post things for school officials, other teachers, or the county to see on the school page as well. So, they may post the standards their teaching and what learning opportunities they are doing in class to achieve these standards.      As a teacher, I will use technological platforms in order to keep my parents informed and engaged in their child's schooling and learning. A tool I will use is personal chats with each student's parents to do weekly...
