Open educational resources seem to be a good tool when you are looking for ways to increase your lesson plan. What I did was search up Open Educational Resources in google then selected the topic and grade level I wanted resources in. I chose History at the high school level, after looking through some of the examples that I was given I found one that I liked. It was about the American Government in the information age. I found this article to be very well written and informative. 10.1 History of American Political Parties – American Government and Politics in the Information Age (umn.edu) I really enjoyed working on assignment 4 as whole. I feel as though it helped me understand a new level of teaching or way of trying to deliver information to the students. I would not say there was anything I disliked about the assignment, except for I wish it would have been sooner in the schedule. Other than that I really enjoyed working on this assignment.

Home (weebly.com) I do not personally use AI tools because I am more nervous than anything of getting tagged for plagiarism. Granted have I used AI tools before yes, but it was mainly for curiosity because I wanted to see what it was like. I am not motivated to use AI tools because I feel a sense of accomplishment when I do the work myself. I do not have any questions that pertain to the usage of AI tools.  My experience using ChatGPT is limited. I have only used ChatGPT when I get bored and just want something to do. Sometimes I will have right up little stories about things that I find interesting. I think some potential risk is that people would rely to heavy on it. I think that AI tools can be used for productivity. I think though as far as enhancing productivity that is a hit or miss, I feel like that if we use AI to do our work for us, we could get done with more tasks at a faster rate. I will not be using AI as frequently as others when it comes to enhancing my productivity....

  Principal Profile - Rick Ackerly - Teaching Certification (teaching-certification.com)  What I see publicly is a bunch of information about the educator's past. The person whose page I looked upon is a principal who was the head of four different schools. We learn what this individual has done throughout their career as an educator. We also learn the different schools that he went to and was also a part of as an educator. The way that I intend on using technology to accomplish my professional responsibilities is to make it easier for me to send out my resume and come up with lesson plans. I will use things such as Gmail and other teacher resources to help me. I plan to use technology to also help my students become better students. Also, I will use technology to help with getting better lesson plans from teachers. I enjoyed working on Assignment 2, I found working on it very interesting. I liked that I was able to play games and then talk about and analyze them to see if the...

 Overall Diigo seems like a good site to use. When I was trying to sign in however it was overwhelming trying to figure out how to navigate the website. After I figured out how to work the website it was easy to maneuver around the website. Despite that it is an overall great website to use for its purpose. So far I have enjoyed using blogger to do assignments. I enjoy being able to write stuff down in a way that does not feel like an assignment. This type of assignment formatting lends itself to that making it a better way to learn. Whenever I become a teacher, I hope to implement blogger into my teaching routine.  Aimoto is a website that I can use in the future as teacher. I will advise my students to use when creating videos and doing assignments. It was easy to use, and the layout of the website is accessible. I like using this website because it helps me easily edit my videos. Animoto is overall a good and easy website to use I will recommend it to all of my students.

 My early experiences using twitter as a type of personal learning network were very limited. Instagram on the other hand was my main source of information since it was more my speed just a lot of pictures and memes. Now I use more of Twitter for my personal learning network because I have matured a little bit. The way that I will use these platforms to help my future career is to promote myself to future employers, I will provide information and links to my resume amongst other things. The digital divide is becoming more and more prevalent in recent years. I remember when I was in elementary school, we did a majority of our work on paper and pencil not on the laptop. I didn't start using technology for homework until middle school. I feel as though if we start using technology to soon with the new generation, they will rely too much on it for spelling and they could also believe everything they read online. Some ways that I will incorporate these types of technologies is by having...

 The technological standard that I have chosen to talk about is the ELA standard for grade 8. The way that I would describe this standard is that it elaborates more on things that the students have learn in previous years. An example being in that standard it talks about writing and introducing a topic and using multimedia in help to aid their comprehension. If I was the one teaching the class, I feel like I would be comfortable to teach something like that in a classroom setting. The way that I would use these resources to help benefit the students learning in the classroom. I would use the lesson plans to help guide them with their lessons and also to help find new ways to teach. The way that I think the resources can be used in teaching is pretty expansive since there is no right way of teaching there is just the curriculum that needs to be taught. Also, I think that it is beneficial to have a different view on education then your own.  The reason why being proficient in in...

 I feel as though if it is for the betterment of the students ten everything should be available to them. I understand that some people want property of what is theirs and what they create should be up to them to decide what they want to do with it. Now I do have question pertaining to why people keep their stuff to themselves? Another concern that I have with copyright and fair use is that people may use that to try and make a profit which I feel is silly if it helps better the world. Decreased productivity- A solution that I would propose is that we create more of learning assignments that seem like games. A good example of what I am referring to is Quizlet, Quizlet simply put is a way to learn that has different ways of doing it. On Quizlet you can study definitions the old fashion way or you can test yourself on it, or you can get the whole class involved and play a game of matching and whoever has the lowest time can get a homework pass. We should create something to make lear...
