The Web Design assignment helped me master the skill of following the CRAP design principle, which I used when designing my website. I ensured the letters had a proper contrast with the background and repeated the same font and font size throughout the website.  For example, since I wanted to use colorful images, I used black letters to make sure they were readable. I really like the creative freedom we had when creating our websites since I enjoyed having a chance to research how teachers teach psychology to young students. Creating a website is a great skill to have as a psychologist since it can be used to share with patients the working policies and how they can make an appointment.

QR codes are a convenient way to shorten URL links, which is why they have become very popular nowadays.  A creative way teachers can use QR codes in the classroom is by using them for a scavenger hunt activity. As a fun in-class activity, I can group students and create 4 different QR codes, each one revealing a task that must be solved before moving to the next code. This activity will not only incentivize students to work together to win a prize but also help reinforce and apply what has been learned in class. 



This is the case I will examine: Teachers can use generative AI to create lesson plans, worksheets, and engaging activities tailored to their students’ interests and abilities. Generative AI tools are trained on extensive datasets that include information from various sources. However, these datasets often reflect historical and societal biases present in the original data. As an educator, using such biased content could inadvertently mislead students or promote inequitable perspectives.

 I would address this issue by first reducing AI usage when preparing class activities. Instead of allowing AI to generate the whole lesson plan or worksheet and simply following what it says I would filter the information it provides. In addition, I would explicitly mention in the prompt to answer based on an objective standpoint and prevent including any type of biases. Lastly, I would make sure to use more than one AI tool to compare answers. This is an ethical solution because I would make sure to only use information that would not mislead students into normalizing societal biases.

       Hello everyone, my name is Adriana , and I'm a senior at Florida State University. I'm pursuing a major in psychology and a minor in education to become a neuropsychologist in the future . I was raised in the Republic of Panama , so Spanish is my first language, but a year ago, I moved to the U.S. to finish my bachelor's degree.  As part of my minor, I'm currently taking the course Introduction to Educational Technology.  During this course I hope to learn how to use online tools I've never used before , such as Padlet and Blogger. I'm also looking forward to refining my skills using Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, as I have only used their basic features. Even though we will learn how to use different platforms from the lens of being an educator, I can apply what I will learn to my field of interest, psychology . Learning how to design and upload informative materials is a great tool to help spread awareness on psychology-related topics, like the i...

Microsoft Word is a tool I have used multiple times as a student. While in middle school, we learned how to use the software as part of our technology class and the skill has been useful ever since. In high school, I had multiple assignments that required MS, including writing essays and making content summaries. It also has been a great tool for writing my class notes during college. I still use it very frequently for my college assignments, but I do sometimes prefer Google Docs as their format is a lot more friendly. I have also had times where the grammar check setting on MS turns off so I end up moving to Google Docs to finish assignments.   The most meaningful ISTE standard for me is 2.2 Leader. I have always believed that educators have a big responsibility as they directly influence their students' lives. Growing up, I had multiple teachers who only cared about following the curriculum and had little to no interest in our success. If educators act like leaders within the cla...

  One digital standard that caught my attention is the ELA.8.C.5.2. This standard explains the importance of learning how to use a variety of digital tools that make it easier to collaborate with others when producing written material. With my current skill set, I do feel prepared to implement this standard with my students. I have experience using online tools like Google Docs, which are extremely helpful when simultaneously working with a group to write an article, paper, or any other written product. If my students face difficulties, I would be able to answer their questions and guide them through the learning process. As a psychology student, I was intrigued by reading the standards set for this subject. Even though the standards were very specific and diverse, one thing I noticed was the lack of resources listed for most of the standards. Out of the first 20 standards that appeared, only one had listed resources, SS.912.P.2.2 (describe and compare a variety of quantitative and...
