      Open educational resources or OER is free resources that is open to the public. It is sort of similar to the concept of public domain as in the rights allow for anyone to use them. There are rules to using the information or resources but there are less stimulations to using it rather than normal copyright. In education teachers will gain a variety of resources that other teachers have developed and used in their classroom for free and for use. The website https://provost.umw.edu/oer/what-are-oer/#:~:text=OER%20can%20include%20textbooks%2C%20course,a%20textbook%20which%20is%20OER. provides examples on the OER.     When completing assignment 4 I developed more skills in adding animations. I also developed more skill by adding pictures an icon. The icons were difficult to maneuver at first but the more I used them, the more I became acquainted with them. I liked the concept of the assignment and liked developing the PowerPoint. The only part I disliked about this assignment was the

 I do not use AI daily and instead try to stay away from using AI. The idea of using certain AI's worry me as it does not always seem accurate at times as it learns from the information people provide. One AI that has affect my life in some sort of way would be the snapchat AI as it is permanently stuck at the top of my friends list. This AI in particular worries me thus, causing me to turn off my location setting for it. I am not currently motivated to use AI as I feel like I can find more information in books or in the information that is passed down from family.  When using ChatGPT I was afraid to put my real email address that I input for all of my private information. Thus, I put a different email address that I use only for school websites. I asked it for some ideas for a family of four to do on a rainy fay. I gave me lots of ideas in fact it gave me a list of seven things. I still did not like using it and prefer using my own imagination to come up with ideas or using apps l

 Teach pages on school websites are generally found on a class directory. These directories have the teachers email addresses and a link to their biography. These biographies can have the teachers past education and can have their teaching schedule on display. These pages generally have information on the hobbies of the teacher and class information. This class information can vary from resources to explanations on what the class will use. The website I looked at for this information is  Clay County School District, Florida - Directory (myoneclay.net) . I envision myself using technology in my professional career by having a google classroom. This will allow for me to assign homework and give digital readings of class reading. This will let the students have less of a chance of losing the work or readings. I will also use skyward to track students grades along the class as it lets the students stay up to date with their grades and lets their parent stay involved.  My experience using t

      My initial response to using Diigo was confusion. I began by trying to sign up for Diigo and none of my emails were being accepted. I downloaded the extension and it let me sign up for the application. I found bookmarking the websites easy but the original website I bookmarked would allow for annotations. As a result of this, I had to find a different article, but after finding this article it was very easy to work.          Blogging has been a new experience for me. I do not have many strong feelings about blogging. I find it more interesting than a discussion board would be, but I dislike that other people can see the blog posts. I like that it is set up like word but is different than I have learned how to add a copyright link and how to use a new website. I have learned how to comment on other people's work.     The web 2.0 tool that I will use in my future career as an educator will be livebinder. This application is similar to Padlet in which students submit their work

 I decided to use Instagram as my connecting tool for this class as I already had an account, so I was familiar with the website. I made a new account specifically for the class. I had to make connections with people in this class and with three teaching accounts. One teaching account that I connected with was classroomcreations which provides tips and tutorials for new teachers. One recent post was about organization for teachers. I have found these tips useful and believe that these tips could be beneficial in the future as it can help me develop these skills. The digital divide is the divide between students who have internet access and students who do not have internet access at home. This divide can effect a student's success in a classroom as a student with internet access at home will be able to complete online assignments outside of school which will allow for them to take their time and get the best grade, The students who do not have access to the internet outside of scho

       The standard that I chose was LAFS.2.L.3.4. This standard is a second-grade standard in which students should be able to define an unknown word based on the other words in the sentence. The student should be able to use context clues to find out what the word means and what the sentence is trying to say. If students cannot define the word, then they should be able to use a physical dictionary or an online dictionary. I feel that with my current skill set that I would be able to teach this standard. I believe this as I can explain how to look for context clues as well as teaching students how to use a dictionary.      I think that CPALMS is very helpful with the resources that they proved for teachers. The lesson plans can help me shape my lesson plans to follow the standards. I also believe that the tutorials could be helpful with coming up with activities to help teach the lesson to the students. The concept of veteran teachers being able to give advice to new teachers on thing

      Copyright and fair use is important as this is what protects your work and others work. This is important in the classroom because this covers the use of textbooks and website programs. When dealing with the copyright and fair use in the classroom the best course of action is to write your own lessons. This will help upkeep the law and will allow for you to not have to deal with purchasing programs.      Cyberbullying is big problem on the internet, and this can link into the classroom. In my future classroom, I will teach the students all about the dangers of cyberbullying and how to use the internet in a respectful way. I will also implement programs that will allow for me to see what a student is doing on a computer at school as this will allow for me to see if any unappealing behavior online. I will also create a safe space for students to come to me if they are being bullied online.      When it comes to implementing ChatGPT or other AI programs, I think that they do more ha
