    So far, I do enjoy blogging. I think this could be a great tool when it comes to communicating with my students as well as their parents. I like how easy it is to send out a blog post, Blogger is super user friendly and straightforward for both the creator and the viewer. So far, I have learned how to upload images, post blogs with pictures/content, and change the theme of the blog for my viewers.

    A Web 2.0 tool that I think is very helpful for educators is YouTube. I think YouTube is a very education tool when used correctly. It is a great place for teachers to collaborate and share their ideas for other teachers. I also think it is a great tool because it can be a place for students to collaborate and find inspiration. I remember often watching educational YouTube videos throughout high school to help me study/learn, and I would also use it to upload group projects and presentations.

    My initial experiences with generative AI were good. I have used it in the past, however, never have used it to generate photos for a meme. I did notice I had to be much more specific when generating photos than with other things like lesson plans and text. I think this is a great tool for educators to find ideas and build off of things generative AI might provide. 

    In my teaching practice, I could see myself using generative AI for lesson plans, activities, and even inspiration for decorating my room. AI can also be used to generate ideas on resources/content ideas for class. I think there are some ethical concerns with AI. One of them being it could be dangerous for teachers to rely too heavily on it, when it might provide incorrect information that isn't accurate.

In my K-12 experience as a student in public schools, I feel like I had significant exposure to Microsoft Word. I have been using Microsoft programs for projects in school since elementary school. Microsoft Word was typically the default program used when writing essays, projects, etc. Since coming to FSU, I have continued to use Microsoft word as well as Google Docs depending on the application. When doing group work, I typically use Google Docs because it is so easy to share. However for personal work and writing I usually use Microsoft Word. I also had to take a computer fluency class at FSU, which taught me how to use some tools and functions on Word that I didn't previously know about. Overall, I would say I prefer Microsoft Word because I know how to use it better than other programs.  The standard that was the most meaningful to me was the Leader standard. I liked this standard because I think being a leader is a very important aspect of being a teacher. Being able to empowe...

 In this class I am very excited to learn how I can use technology when working with kids. Whether that be in a teacher/classroom setting, as a babysitter, or as a mom, I am excited to learn how technology can aid in teaching kids. I think I will apply this knowledge both in my personal life and in my professional life. I plan on working with kids for speech therapy, and believe this class could help give me some unique teaching tools.  I don't have much prior experience with teaching with technology. Whenever I have been in a "teaching" setting, I have not had much technology to work with. When I nanny once a week, the kids are very strictly no screens, so I haven't had much time to work with technology while teaching or working with kids. However, I have used technology such as smart boards when I was a student in middle and high school.  When it comes to learning, I am a Communication Sciences and Disorders major. I love to learn about communication disorders and t...
