 I learned so much while completing Project 5! First of all, I did not even know PowerPoint offered some of the tools that were used in Project 5.  I learned how to use the navigation buttons and can definitely see myself using them in the future! What I did not like about this assignment was just how time consuming it was. When I am an educator, I can't see myself having enough time to make something like this and think I would likely opt for a template that is already created. 

I think I will use data tools like Qualtrics often in my teaching career. This is because it will allow me to reach out to parents and find out what they would like to see in the classroom and even see what the students want. I could see myself using Qualtrics to find out what book students wanted me to read aloud or what movie we could watch on a movie day! In the case of parents, I would ask questions about whether or not they would like for the class to spend time learning about our class pet! 

The next technology related skill that I want to learn about is Photoshop! This is because the tool can be used for so much more than social media. Photoshop can be used to create awesome headshots for resumes and other important documents. I also think Photoshop can be helpful in creating YouTube content as this is an idea I have for the future. I would love to learn video editing because I have interest in being a content creator that brings viewers into the life of a teacher.

My name is Isabel Colom and I am a student at Florida State University. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my 2 best friends, Grace and Jordyn. Many of my friends would describe me as a kind and genuine friend, and I try to stay true to that. My friends and family are super important to me so I always try to be my complete self when I am with them. I also enjoy time being productive whether it is doing homework or running around doing errands.   I am keeping an open mind because prior to this course, technology has been somewhat frustrating for me to use in an educational setting. This all began when I took a computer course in high school that I absolutely hated, and then took another computer course through dual enrollment. I didn't do awesome in either of them which was super frustrating just because I would say I am somewhat tech savvy outside of the classroom. In the course, I am excited to start learning about some new programs and give it another shot.  My personal l

 During the web design assignment I was super excited to work on it because it was something I had never done before. Using Weebly was unique and unlike something I had done, so I had my fair share of questions to google. Overall the design elements I used included pictures, fonts, and colors. I think that adjusting the font and colors of the words on my website made a big difference in the overall appeal of the website. I overall really liked this assignment even though at times it was frustrating.    My Website! In my life currently, I don't use a lot of AI features just because I don't know how I feel about them. Specifically, a lot of people in my generation have been using the Snapchat AI feature. I feel as though the AI is tracking information through the messages sent by the user, so I choose not to partake. ChatGPT is also very popular with many of my classmates and I actually haven't used that platform either!! So as far as AI goes, I am not very familiar with the

       Throughout Elementary school I remember Microsoft programs being introduced to me. One of the first few that I learned about were Microsoft Word and PowerPoint because we would use them to make projects. In Middle and Highschool we focused on using these to advance our skillset and I even took a class to learn more about these computer programs. I do also like Google Docs but only for taking informal notes while being in class. For any assignment that needs to be in MLA or APA format, I would use Microsoft Word.      I really found concept 1.6 interesting on the "For students" tab just because I feel that is a necessary skill that technology can advance. The 1.6 Standard was titled "Creative Communicator" which is super important. Another side that I was able to see with this is that people learn differently, so students being able to communicate in different way allows students the opportunity to learn from each other. 1.6a wants students to use different pl
