  • After visiting some school websites, I ended up on West Broward High School's site. They are a school in the county I used to go to school in and I found some information. All teachers are listed with a link to their website. I mostly found their names, grades, pictures, and schedule for class. Whenever I tried to go further I had to log in and obviously my high school account is deactivated. The link is here.  
  • I envision myself using different types of technology to accomplish my responsibilities more efficiently and effectively. One of the productivity tools I would like to use is Class dojo. Through here I can update parents on what they are up to and it has a point system. In my last job, we used this tool to give the students points based on their performance and behavior. Another great tool is Google Classroom. This can be used to post powerpoints, turn in assignments, and post homework and resources that the students can find with ease. 
  • Working on assignment 2 was a positive experience overall. I liked that the groups were chosen by us based on our topics and we could freely explore the resources we used. I didn't enjoy the canvas tool much because it seemed fairly complicated. It was hard to truly understand how to use it at first but I was able to get a hang of it. I understand it's important to use this tool as a future educator so I would rather keep on learning how to use this in order to be a better educator for my students.

Copyright and fair use are necessary when working. Often people make a living off the images, music, or videos they make so it is essential to know how to work with this. As a teacher, it's important to know the tags that are used. Most of the time finding these won't be that difficult thanks to many resources such as websites that help find copyright fair use items. Most the time there won't be a problem because they aren't being used in a commercial way, just educational. With the students, it is important to inform them about the different rules before starting any project where it is necessary. It is important for them to credit and quote any source they use. I do not have any other questions about this, because I learned in class. As long as I have been a student, academic dishonesty has been an issue. Before, it was about rightfully crediting and quoting ideas and sources, and copying others papers. Nowadays, it also includes using AI to generate papers and other ...

  My experience with distance learning began with the COVID-19 pandemic. At first, there were no zoom meetings. Teachers would post the assignments we had for the week and we would complete them by the due date, which is pretty similar to the asynchronous online courses I've had in college. As my junior year began, we used daily zoom meetings at the time of our classes. Our teachers shared their screens and gave us assignments in class that were only open for that period on canvas. I believe they were both very effective but when it comes to a more rigorous course, I would rather have the teacher in the meeting because we can actively participate and get involved. I have yet to take a distance learning course at FSU and I am looking forward to seeing how that experience goes next semester.  An OER are open resources that educators can use and reuse without permission. They can be modules, textbooks, or educational games. A great resource I was able to find was  https://oe...
