 Working on the Web Design assignment taught me how to make websites look nice and easy to use. I learned to use balance by placing things evenly so the page doesn’t look messy. For example, I lined up pictures and text in straight rows. I also used contrast by picking colors that made important buttons stand out, like bright buttons on a plain background. I kept the style the same throughout, using the same fonts and colors to make it look neat. In the future, I can use these skills to build websites for jobs, school projects, or personal use.

A fun way to use QR codes in class is by making a “QR Code Treasure Hunt.” I could hide QR codes around the room that link to videos or questions about the lesson. For example, in history, students could scan codes to watch short videos and answer questions. This would make learning more active and exciting.

Case: A teacher uses an app that watches what students do online during class to help them focus. Some students feel uncomfortable because it feels like spying.

To fix this, I would explain to the students why the app is used to help them stay focused, not to spy on them. I would only use the app during class time and only collect needed information. I would also let students pause the app if they feel uncomfortable. This way, the teacher keeps the class on track but still respects students’ privacy. I think this is a fair and respectful solution.

    The design of your website is very nice and organized, and good color contrast as well as good ideas for your class. The website is very good at having text spread out against the photos.

    I loved your use of color and interesting images to create contrast throughout your website and thought the alignment on each page made it super easy to read and understand the information!

    I love the way you designed your website! You chose colors that contrasted very well, you only used a few fonts to keep consistency, and all of your graphics were aligned well. Great job!

    In this class I hope to learn about all the different ways to utilize technology in the classroom, whether I am the student or the teacher. Since I hope to become an elementary school teacher, I think the skills that I will learn in this class will be very important and useful to my career. So far, I believe Canva will be my most used tool in the classroom. I aim to master the use of Canva and apply it all throughout my future teaching career.     Prior to this class, I used multiple forms of technology in my K-12 schooling. I mostly used MS Word, MS Teams, and MS PowerPoint. In my senior year of high school, I took multiple dual enrollment classes so I am also very familiar with Canvas. Out of these main technological resources, I think I am the most skilled in MS Word and PowerPoint. This is because I took a Digital Info Tech (DIT) class in high school where MS Word and PowerPoint were the main focuses.      My current PLN is based around my hope...

 During my visit to the Tech Sandbox, I got to see and interact with many forms of technology that I would not have had the opportunity to play with otherwise. If I were to use any of the tools in my future classroom, it would be the 3D pens. I think that they would be great tolls for younger students who are learning to write letters. The 3D pen would be fun and engaging, while also providing a visual once they have written that certain letter.  I chose the a standard that says, "Research how social media and technology can be used to distort, exaggerate, or misinterpret information." This means that students are being asked to evaluate the effects of technology, specifically social media. I think I could implement this standard effectively because I grew up in the generation with social media. I think I have become good at interpreting information on social media, having always lived with it. A resource that stood out to me was the lesson plan development. I think this reso...
