Personally, I really like blogging. I think it is a good way to write down your thoughts and share them with other people. I also think blogging is very beneficial to help others learn about different ideas. I like that blogging gives me a specific place to write down my feelings and opinions about certain things. So far, I have learned that blogging actually takes some time. For some reason, I thought blogging was just something quick and easy, but after seeing how many different ways you can set up a blog page, I realized that it can actually be kind of difficult.

One Web 2.0 tool that I think can be useful is a website called Animoto. Animoto is a website that allows teachers to easily make videos. This can be used when trying to make video lectures or recording a lesson for a student that is absent. Animoto has many different tools to help make good videos. Animoto provides teachers with different songs they can use in their videos and also templates or storyboards. One downside is that you do have to pay for it though. Here is the link to Animoto:https://animoto.com/ .

 I really liked using Generative AI. I thought it did a really good job when coming up with a lesson plan. It had everything sorted out to a tea. It told me the duration of the lesson and how long I should spend talking about each thing. I also really liked that it would cite the sources it used to find certain information. I think that already puts it one step ahead of ChatGPT. 

I could see myself using Generative AI to come up with lesson plans if I was stuck on what to do one day. I also like the idea of being able to ask how I could help a student if they were struggling in a specific area. When it comes to Generative AI, I think ethics is a really big thing to discuss. I think it is hard for teachers to tell their students not to use ot, but then they proceed to use it. I think it should mainly be used to help a teacher learn more about a certain topic, but I also can see it being okay to be used every now and then to come up with different things.

       As a teacher, I would either use the public domain or cite my sources correctly to avoid copyright. I think it is important to show students how to properly cite sources so they can avoid copyright as well. At my school, we were only taught how to cite sources when writing papers. Everything taught on Tuesday and Thursday about public domain and copyright is pretty much new knowledge for me. I think it should be taught to middle schoolers how to read a Creative Commons License to prevent them from copyrighting something when they are older.      I think academic dishonesty will become a big issue the more technology is implemented into schools. Technology makes it super easy for students to cheat. Most students will look up answers to their homework or their tests. I think it is going to be hard to find something that will prevent students from doing things like this. Honestly, I think tests and quizzes should go back to being on paper. This tak...

          I have recently found using Pinterest and Instagram to be very helpful. Pinterest is a good place to find ideas about any topic. I have mainly been looking at different classroom decorations, but I have also found it very helpful when looking for different worksheets. On Instagram, I have been following many different teachers. These teachers post about different activities their class did and give advice as well. I think both of these platforms will be very helpful in the future when I am preparing my classroom and lesson plans.      Growing up, I believe I went to a pretty digitally rich school. In elementary school, we were able to go to the computer lab once a week to have typing lessons, general computer information lessons, and even play educational games. We were also provided with chrome books in our classroom, so I think navigating these chrome books helped me prepare for using a laptop in college. I also think the typing l...
