        I think teachers having school pages can be beneficial. This can be for communication purposes, as a teacher page can communicate contact information, deadlines and more. They could also use these pages to organize class resources. When browsing other teacher pages, I saw things like important dates to remember, as well as a introduction video. I think these pages would be helpful for parents to keep organized and informed. https://www.leonschools.net/site/Default.aspx?PageID=5903

        I envision myself using technology to organize and plan out my professional responsibilities. In college, I love using google Calendar to stay organized. It organizes all my upcoming events and assignments, as well as sending out reminders before the scheduled event. Using technology like this allows me to stay organized and punctual.  I also like using my notes app to remember important tasks. 

        When working with my canvas group, I liked being able to customize the page with different themes. This allowed us to personalize our page to best appeal to our crowd. It was hard trying to communicate with our group members who weren't in class, as we weren't all on the same page. Despite communication issues, it was very cool to see the backside of creating canvas pages. Overall, I enjoyed the group canvas tool as it was a great way to learn how to use canvas from a teachers view.

    With blogging, I haven't had much experience. I have never had my own personal blog until this class. I really like how we have done this blog so far, as I think it would be a great way to build your personal learning network, as well as getting out any information you want to share. I have learned how to navigate a blog website, as well as how to respond to others blog posts. I also have enjoyed how we got to pick out the theme of our blogs, as you can get really creative when designing these.

    An interesting Web 2.0 tool that I will use when teaching is Google Docs. I would use this tool to help me plan lessons, take notes and pretty much anything I need to write down. Google docs helps me stay organized, and it automatically saves. I prefer it over Word, as it is free and very accessible. I think I will implement this tool into my teaching routine. 

    Working with AI, I have had many positive experiences. I have used it to help me get over brain blocks, where I can't think of anything to start an essay or project. It worked really well when I had to come up with 4 artifacts for my english essay. I was stuck on what to come up with and it gave me so many ideas. It doesn't always give accurate information when asking for direct information from readings, videos, etc. 

    I imagine using AI in my future teaching career by using it to help me brainstorm ideas. In the classroom, you want to keep it fun and interesting for your students. AI is the perfect tool to help come up with group work, class activities and so much more. I can definitely see myself using it whenever I am stuck in a brain block. I also can use it to structure worksheets and tests. The nice thing about AI is the possibilities are endless. I would address ethical concerns by making sure I don't copy and paste directly. It is a good tool for creating ideas, but not doing it all for you.

    I have had very early experiences with social media, as I was exposed to apps like snapchat and instagram at a really young age. I found it beneficial when I was younger because I did extracurriculars from a very young age, and would need to communicate with adults in many different instances. Learning how to use social media so young made me very knowledgeable when I started needing to use technology in a educational setting. In my future career, social media can help me network and create new ideas. 

    Growing up, I went to a digitally rich school. My K-12 school had computer labs, communal ipads and computers, which made technology very accessible at all times. Having all of these resources made me very knowledgeable about technology. When going to college, all of the platforms like canvas and microsoft were very familiar to me. Since I used these platforms a lot in high school, I felt I was at an advantage over some students who never used them. Something I could have done better was learn how to organize my technology as sometimes I would lose track of unfinished assignments. 

    I have experienced a good amount of collaborative writing and social annotation throughout K-12 and college. From shared microsoft documents and powerpoints, collaborative writing has been persistent through my education. Some software tools I would bring into my future classroom are Miro, google docs and other microsoft tools. These tools can foster learning by learning group skill work, how to communicate in social setting as well as learning teamwork. A lesson I would incorporate these tools in are group discussions. This allows for brainstorming and creativity.
