 In the Padlet post, I gave an example of learning analytics, showing how teachers can use student data to understand learning better and track student progress. Teachers can use information such as quiz scores, assignment completion, and participation to identify areas where students may be struggling or need additional help. Learning analytics also enables teachers to make informed decisions and adjust the instruction to meet the individual needs of students. One limitation is that data doesn’t always provide the whole picture of a student’s understanding or abilities. Some students may not test well but comprehend the material in other ways. As a future teacher, learning analytics could help me track student progress, identify gaps in learning and design lessons that better meet the needs of my student There are a few different things I look at when I am trying to figure out if information on social media is reliable. Where did the information come from? Is there any proof? Does...

 I learned all about embedding codes into websites and that making them takes a lot of creative technique. I aligned pictures and words, I used all the same colors for the backgrounds. I liked being able to have creative freedom to do whatever we wanted with our design. I don't love making websites only because I just don't enjoy working on a computer very much. I could use these skills in my future career as a teacher because I could have a website for parents to look at if they have questions before coming to me with questions.  QR codes can be used in classrooms as links to assignments and homework. I could use QR codes for interactive learning, for scavenger hunts or escape rooms. Another way would be virtual field trips, they could be links for virtual tours of museums or historical sites. Lastly they could be used as answer keys or explanatory videos for students.  Case Study: When grading student assignments, a teacher might save time by using an online grading pla...

 I looked at my old elementary school, Lakemont Elementary School's and looked at what information teachers shared. The website includes classroom reviews, teacher introductions, contact information, and school supply lists. These pages can help parents find all the information before the new school year. Having this information available online makes it easy for families to stay organized and communicate with the teachers. As a future teacher, I would like my class page to be frequently updated so that parents and students have quick access.  As a future teacher I want to use technology to make my responsibilities more organized. I would use Google Docs and Google Drive to create, store, and organize lesson plans. I would use Canvas to organize course work, communicate with my students, and share homework. These tools would save time, help make things more organized and have easier access to information. I think technology would help me spend less time on repetitive tasks and...

 After looking at the Florida Standards on the CPALMS website I chose standard SC.912.TI.1.10. This standard focuses on technology related careers and how this technology can provide new opportunities. This standard gives students the opportunity to look at careers with technology and the skills they need to develop to work in this field. I feel pretty prepared to implement this standard because I have used technology most of the years I have been in school for presentations, assignments, research, brainstorming ideas, etc. I could help my students understand technology better by walking them through a presentation of how to use it in their fields.  One of the resources I found was the CPALMS Educator Toolkit. Toolkit is the lesson plan, it provides activities the align with the Florida Standard. These lesson plans would help me organize my instructions and ways to engage my students when working with different concepts. I could use the tools to create interactive activit...

 I don't have negative or positive view on blogging. I don't enjoy it that much just because I don't love writing about myself. I like that we have guided questions on what to post it makes the posting easier. I have learned a lot about how I write and view questions.  I think using AI is a good thing. Personally I believe that AI can help us learn much faster. There is not much being taught in schools that you can't learn online. I think that if it is being used in schools then it should be used to help brainstorm ideas and not used to do the work for you! I have had all good experiences with AI. When I used AI to make a lesson plan for kindergarten math it gave me exactly what I wanted the first time. It gave me teacher instruction, guided practice, independent practice and timed all of it out for me. I would interact with it more next time and see how much more I could get for a lesson plan.  I would use AI in my future lesson plans as a guide. I could ask it to help...
