 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 platform. Artificial intelligence is used by the site to offer feedback and recommended grades. However, the instructor observes that the AI occasionally provides students with incorrect feedback or unfairly assigns grades based on the style of their responses.

Instead of depending solely on the AI grading platform to make all grading choices, I would use it as a tool to improve productivity. I would personally go over each assignment, confirm the recommended grades, and ensure that each student receives fair comments. Additionally, I will ensure that student data is kept confidential and not disclosed to unapproved parties or websites. Since technology should simplify teachers' duties without taking the place of their judgment, I think this is the most moral course of action. As a future teacher I think it is important to use technology responsibly and treating students fairly.

 Hi my name is Aubrey! I am super excited to learn this semester in EME2040! I hope to learn all about the pros and cons of technology used in classrooms. I want to be able to use technology to the best of my abilities to help the students I am teaching learn the best they can. I want to provide sources and tools that will help students navigate the web in a safe way. Technology can be hard to understand so I hope this course is able to provide me with the information needed to help the ones I am teaching excel! I have used technology in classes ever since I was in elementary school. When I was in elementary school it was only used for AR testing, which was reading tests we could take from books to earn points! During my middle school years is when laptops started being provided to kids for work to be completed! This is when I was introduced to canvas, and I learned to navigate this website to be able to submit all my work. In high school this continued and I learned about more and...

 If I am being honest I never used MS word in elementary school or high school. I know how to work MS word though. However I always used Google Docs whether it was to take notes, write an essay, draft an email, make a list of sort, etc. I would say I am pretty much an expert at working most Google websites. I honestly find them less confusing the Microsoft resources.  I believe the most meaningful ISTE standard to me is citizen. I believe creating a positive environment for students is the most important thing you can do. Having an environment where kids feel safe and included makes or breaks a class. Kids need to be positively reinforced when they do good things to be able to learn the difference between good and bad behavior.  I do agree with the term digital native, because I believe this current generation is the most equipped in technology. There is a big difference between how digital natives and digital immigrant use technology, however I wouldn't say with teachers...

I believe as a teacher it is vital to understand the importance of copyright because I will be creating instructional content and asking students to create their own work. When it comes to me making materials, I will start by using my own content and resources. However, when I need to use other sources I will cite them correctly and give credit where it is due. I will teach students the importance of giving credit to sources and not copying others work. I believe understanding copyright and fair use will make me a more responsible teacher and I will be able to teach my students to respect others work.  One technological implementation issue that means a lot to me is student privacy. As I become a preschool teacher I believe student privacy is very important, as kids are so young they aren't able to speak up for themselves and ask for privacy. In classrooms technology is used in everything, so as a teacher I will only use school-approved websites and applications that have privacy s...
