     From the website assignment, I learned a lot. When I had tried to create websites for other classes I never liked the way they turned out and was always disappointed by the lack of an aesthetic not for a lack of trying but more so because of a lack of understanding. With all the tutorials and explanations provided for the assignment along with a step-by-step guide for each component, I was able to create a website I was happy with and ended up showing it to my friends. For this assignment, I used balance the most, when websites are scattered and unbalanced, they are confusing and can be hard to look at so I wanted to make balance a main priority. I will definitely use website design in my future classes since it can be a great resource for both parents and students. 

    I think a potential creative way to use QR codes would be for attendance. Students can walk in and scan the QR code and answer a question to be marked present for the day. This is a fun way to take attendance and I think it can be engaging whether the question is content or something like 'what's your favorite candy?' Some students may forget to scan the QR code of lack of internet access could pose an issue but I think this is still effective. 
    
Case: AI-Driven Learning Platforms and Student Privacy
Background: A school district adopts a popular AI-driven learning platform that personalizes educational content for students. The platform promises to tailor lessons to each student’s learning style, identify areas for improvement, and provide real-time feedback. The data collected includes academic performance, engagement levels, response patterns, and, at times, behavioral indicators such as attentiveness and emotional responses through webcam and microphone monitoring.

    I have used learning platforms like this before and have had little to no issues. One example that comes to mind is Reflex math. There were different math problems hidden as fun games which encouraged students to learn while they think they are just playing online games. This resource also had benchmarks for teachers and admin to monitor to see how students were progressing in math. I think giving informed consent to parents and students solves the ethical dilemma of giving personal information unknowingly since parents are able to consent to the spread of this information if they so choose.

    Hi Kylee! I just looked at your website and I think you did a good job at following the CRAP formula. Each page was cohesive and went well with each other. I like how you made each page a different color to make it more individual. Overall, I think you did a great!

    Hello Kylee! I found your website to be a very visually pleasing experience. The balance of the CRAP principles was very much in place throughout your website design, and I appreciated the change of colors depending on the page.

      In this class I am hoping to learn lots of things. I believe an online presence has become increasingly important in education as times have continued to change. The need to be educated in online presence began with Covid-19, the entire world shut down and schools had to manage a way to not lose out on half a semester of content. They did the incredible and managed to finish out the school year online, sure it was not perfect but it was the best that could have been expected with such uncharted circumstances. We need to be skilled in an online presence and able to work online in case something such as a global pandemic were to shut down the world, the education system still needs to continue. I also am looking to learn about different resources available to teachers online, this is vital to my future career as a teacher and will allow me to be as successful as possible.       For as long as I can remember in school we have used online resources t...

       The standard I chose was SC.912.EET.1.7, this standard is for grades 9-12. It describes the way technology has impacted the way people create and run organizations and the way technology has come to impact day-to-day life. I believe I can implement this standard since technology has become such a major factor in schools and in the outside world. To do so I would inform students of technology we will use in the classroom and carefully make sure all students feel comfortable with the technology.       I think the resources found on the CPALM page can be very helpful for students. For example, there are lessons on there such as 'How can I pay for college', many students choose not to go to college because they do not think they can afford it. However, resources such as this provide valuable lessons for important daily matters which are not ordinarily taught in schools. Another example of this is the source titled, 'The Cuban Missile Crisis and...

     Being a product of public school, I have only ever used Microsoft word for my processing software needs. At this point in my life, I would say I am 75% fluent in Word; to me it is the most user-friendly software available. I have tried other software such as google docs and I have found it confusing and difficult to navigate, I tend to stick with Word. I do not think I will use a different software, especially in education; as students learn their way around it and all of its capabilities, they will need the help bar and tutorials which word can provide.       I found the ISTE standard for educators very interesting. This resource is a road map for educators to be the best they possibly can. The standard I found most meaningful is standard 2.4 Collaborator, I think it is important to admit that someone may be able to help you with something you may not understand and there is a possibility to learn from everyone. Specifically, I thought 2.4 b Lear...
