 1. Artificial intelligence, as of now, is pervading the education system in a negative light, being an easy shortcut to learning the material. However, it could also be used to help teachers formulate lesson plans and schedules. 

2. I have never really been an avid user of social media. My first experience with social media communication was in middle school, where I used skype to chat with my friends. We later migrated to discord after skype didn’t allow free access, and have been keeping contact ever since. I’ve also started using gmail since elementary and middle school which allowed me to contact teachers and professionals directly.

3. My elementary school had a much more conservative style of teaching, barely employing any technology into the classroom, so it would classify as a digitally poor school, even if it is a private institution. My middle school is a lot more liberal with technology, allowing students to purchase their own laptops. This rather early exposure to classroom tools allowed me to transition into writing online, which eventually led to knowledge of various different software. Looking back, I would definitely have looked into more programs to enhance productivity and time management. 

4. There are many collaborative tools with proven efficiency, such as google docs, Padlet and notes. However, applications such as Miro, zoom-workplace, and slack have become more popular over recent years. I’d still like to use google docs for annotation and collaboration since its features are straightforward to navigate, and it allows work to be formatted in a professional manner.

  Looking through the syllabus, there seems to be a lot of practical usage of technology in conjunction with classroom teaching. It includes elements of design, presentation and interactivity which are all important assets in 21st century instruction. I mainly hope to explore new ways I could interact with my class via technology, in a concise and accessible manner. With the class schedule and syllabus online, students will have much less confusion navigating through the course material. Starting in middle school, I was encouraged to use technology in the classroom in order to gain more access to different forms of information. In 7th grade, I used blogger.com to keep a portfolio of all my written work including essays and reviews. I was fortunate enough to have my blog showcased at a school event to many school visitors.  Since I am a music major, my professional network is tied closely to the music community. I visit many sites which are related to music composition since th...

  I’ve discovered a few new things about web design features including inserting a calendar and pdf document into the slide. I’ve also found ways to make the site more interactive using social icons, as well as relevant images.  I like Weebly for its easy navigation and the many custom features it provides, differing from WIX quite a bit. The most important thing I dislike about this program is the fact that I can’t verify myself to get in.   There are many ways a teacher could use a QR code including for access to class content, contact information or activities. A lot of teachers tend to use QR codes for activities like kahoot or quizizz, so students can have an easier time joining.   https://fsu.padlet.org/ik23/eme2040-generative-ai-cases-idam-kim-s0efwkvgnifw90rg/wish/lkROZPk598v3QjMg Chatgpt ironically gives a good guide to ethical use of AI and technology, both for students and teachers. In regards to teaching music, It touches upon points such as copyrigh...
