 I think as a teacher I would mainly use Data collection tools to collect criticism about my teaching so that I could improve in the future. I think Data collection could also be helpful to gauge understanding on different subjects before a big test. For example, I could give a Qualtrics survey to students in a math class in which they rate their understanding and comfortability level of a wide range of topics covered in the past that way I know what to focus on more in review sessions. This method of data collection also allows for students to be honest without fear of being judged by their peers, for instance, if I instead asked them to show me with their hands how comfortable they were with each topic. Additionally, survey data collection as opposed to a hand raising or other in person method is more accurate and provides easy graphics to view data in so it is less time consuming to obtain and analyze results.

From reviewing my classmates blogs this semester I really found the newsletters to be interesting as everyone had such unique ideas and perspectives on the design. The information in the newsletters was also interesting to me because personally I struggled with thinking of topics to use, so seeings everyone's different ideas was very nice. Similarly to the newsletters, I also enjoyed looking at my classmates websites, as again they were all very unique and different. Website design is not my strong suit so it was cool to be able to see other websites that were more well put together than mine.

A technology skill I really want to learn is different functions of Excell. In my DIS lab, I am often exposed to complex features of Excell sheets, like having columns subtract from one another or different tabs. I know how to navigate these more complex sheets, however I do not know how to make sheets of these on my own. I think because I am exposed to them so frequently, and because I plan to be in my lab for another year, it would be nice to learn more about the different functions of Excell to help me better succeed when dealing with them. I can work on achieving this goal by being more involved in Excell sheet tasks in my lab and asking questions, as well as by using online resources that explain more functions of Excell.

 I have only previously made a website using Wix before so using Weebly was a new experience for me. I learned how to use different features like the embed code feature of the website builder. I disliked how it seemed you could only work off a template and there was a lot that needed to be deleted from the template to be used for my purposes. Before using Weebly, I also tested out Wix again to see which user interface I liked more and I found it very interesting that Wix now has an AI generated text button to help users fill in their websites. I think with proper use of this tool, this could be very helpful to speed up basic web design. Everything I learned from this assignment will help in my future career if I ever need to make my own website or edit an existing website. My website can be found here: https://korynnas5thgradeclass.weebly.com/ From using Diigo I learned how to share websites with built in annotations which I think could be really helpful. I think the annotation too...

      Copy right is a legal right to ownership of something. For example, if someone publishes a book and has it copy righted, they have the legal right to claim that book as their own and only they will have the right to copy that material. So if a book is copyrighted, only the author/owner can legally print more copies of that book. Fair use deals with copy right in the sense that something that is copyrighted may still be used or quoted without paying the creator, but only if it is for purposes like teaching, criticism, research, ect. I would deal with these principles as a teacher by making sure if I was copying any material, it would follow under the fair use principles for teaching. For my students, I would also make sure they were informed of copy right and fair use so they did not use any work that was not their own without it being fair use.      A recent loophole with copy right has been the use of Chat GPT by students. Chat GPT is an artificial i...

      I did not have twitter until I was required to get it for this class and my early experiences with it were fine. The user interface and functionality of the website are both good, the platform is just not my preferred way to digest or interact with content. I have been interacting with the educational accounts we were required to follow and the content has been interesting to look through, especially from the U.S department of education. Twitter may be helpful in my future career in order to quickly get information from many different sources about a topic I am interested in. It is also easy to interact with content and share my own content which can help me to build connections.     The digital divide can affect students in schools by  making it more difficult to complete online homework at home, or homework that requires internet access for searches or additional learning resources. Students without major access to technology or internet will also b...
