     The CPALMS standard that I chose was Standard 1 SC.2.HS.1 for the 2nd Grade. This standard encompasses that importance of having students be aware of what is safe to do on the internet, and what could be harmful to them or others. Additionally, the standard covers topics like online communication, privacy, and passwords. Based on my current skill set, I feel very prepared to implement this standard in a classroom because I am very familiar with preforming ethical and smart online practices. 

    Within the Educator Toolkit, I chose to look at the standards for 2nd Grade English Language Arts, and chose the standard ELA.K12.EE.4.1. This standard expects students to be able to communicate with their peers using "collaborative techniques and active listening skills." The resources provided are 286 lesson plans amongst other resources that a teacher can use to help guide their lesson surrounding this standard. I think that when I am a teacher needing to teach a specific standard, I can review the standard on CPALMS and the resources that I think will help me best.

    A teacher needs to fully understand Internet searching because they will be required to utilize numerous online resources to structure their classroom. The Internet searching skills that I will likely use most using forward are searching only the necessary words into Google. Wasting time searching extra words or complete sentences is inefficient. I don't think that I have any Internet searching skills that were not introduced this week.

    Using AI in a K-12 setting can be both beneficial and detrimental. I think that AI like ChatGPT can be useful for teachers to get starting ideas on lesson plans or fun projects, but it should not be the sole resource that a teacher uses. Similarly, students can definitely use AI to help with prompts for an essay or other things, but not for cheating. Unfortunately, it seems that as students get older, they use AI in increasingly selfish ways to avoid learning.

     In this class, I hope to learn about the ways that teachers use technology in the classroom. There are so many applications out there, and I hope that this class can scope out the most effective ones that teachers should use. Especially with the growing influence of technology, I think that this class is important for future educators, like myself, to be able to familiarize themselves with important technologies that can be utilized in the classroom. I am excited to be able to apply what I learn in this class when I am an educator in four years!     Using technology in an educational setting is something that I believe almost every person does nowadays. Whether it is using a phone for communicating with classmates, or a laptop to type and complete assignments, technology is everywhere in classrooms today. Personally, I love to take advantage of my technologies during academic times because of the efficiency of it. Being able to reach professors immediately,...

     As my time as a student, MS Word has been something that I've consistently utilized for many things. I desperately prefer MS Word over things like Notepad or Google Docs because of the features that MS Word offers. I am very comfortable using MS Word over those other platforms, and I think it is very easy to navigate, as well. MS Word has aided me with creating countless essays, research papers, assignments, and more. I will always use MS Word over any other platform!     The ISTE Standards for Educators has one particular standard that sticks out to me: Collaborator. I think that as an educator, it is vital to have the skills to work with other educators and the students to solve problems. Something that I didn't think about before was how educators are learning with the students as they are trying to teach them. I think that this is an interesting fact because I thought that teachers had to be certified to be "all-knowing" with what they teach and what st...

      Blogging is something that I never thought I would do. However, it has been very interesting to see how easy it is to do, and how functional it is because everything is easily accessible and in one place. There's nothing that I can think of about how I don't like blogging, it's nice and easy! Something that I have learned during the blogging process so far is that it can be easy to go back and edit a published blog. This helps me to not worry about if I made any mistakes on my blog because I can always fix it.     A Web 2.0 tool that I can use as a teacher is YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/). This tool is a platform where users can post videos and accumulate followers, comments, likes, and shares. Many helpful videos with a variety of topics can be found on this website. As a teacher, YouTube can be helpful to show students fun videos when learning a new topic to make it more engaging and interesting for the students.     My initial experience...
