     There were a lot of new skills that I learned while working on assignment 5 that truly allowed me to learn more about how powerpoint works and ways that when I become a teacher I can make my class a lot more interactive. Some new features that I learned or used for the first time was the button feature as most power points I made before this where more informative so I would click and explain on the slide, I also learned more on how to use animations and adding sounds so that the powerpoint is more interactive. One thing that I did not like about the assignment was how for each slide I had to go in and direct them to each button I wish there was a quicker way to go about that. Overall this assignment was ver informative and feel as if it better prepared me as a future teacher and gave me a new way to make the class a more interactive feel.

    I think wanting to be an 11th grade U.S history teachers there are plenty of ways that I can use data collecting services that will better me as a teacher and my class as it provides me with student feedback. Since the students I will be teacher will be older they will have an understanding when I ask them to fill out a survey. There are many ways that a survey can be used in class weather that be feedback or even asking a question of what the class will and will not prefer a certain type of project in class. At the end of the day data collecting services can be useful not only in the classroom as they can provide anyone who posts one feedback that will be useful down the road and helping the person grow.

    One technology related skill I would like to learn next would be more down the road of coding and designing my own website. I know in this class we made our own websites but that was with a pre made template I want mine to be made by scratch by me. I could take classes in coding and website design and apply them to what I want to teach so I can make a website that students around the globe taking U.S history can use as a resource. That is the one technology related skill that I would like to learn down the road that could better me as an instructor.

      One thing that I hope to learn in this class is how to better use technology to make my classroom a better learning space when I become a teacher. With the landscape of how technology is used in class's today it would be better to get ahead of the curve and find a way to make it useful in a class. Things such as social media or AI though most would never think could be useful in class only a distraction but if used the right way can make for a more dynamic structured class that can offer more to learn and new ways to learn that could take place even outside of the classroom. Thats why when I signed up to take this class i was hoping I would learn and see a new way that I could use technology in class so that I could make a better class room experience.      The most technology that I have used in class prior to this would be simple as laptops and credible sources to use for research. Most of my experience comes from the past years being in high school...

      Blogging in my opinion has been a very fun and new way to express what I have learned in this class in a way that I can share with everyone. One of my favorite parts of the blog has been the ability to share what I have learned and understood from this class weather that be applying or talking about an assignment that we went over in class. Something that has made blogging tough is that some ideas it is harder to blog about and it can seem kind of run rather than me truly sharing something that would be meaningful. Overall Blogging is something that I have enjoyed very much with this class and would like to find a way that maybe I could use it in my classroom when I start teaching down the road.     Generative Ai was actually very useful when I asked it to help me make a lesson plan. I gave it the topic and the time frame for a lesson on woman's rights and it helped me make a lecture while also giving me videos and books that might also aid the students le...
