    I have thoroughly enjoyed this class! The things we've learned this semester have been very interesting. I appreciate how we learned how to do specific things that teachers do in their jobs regularly. I would say there's nothing I dislike about this course. If I become a teacher someday, I will try and understand each of my students' home lives to know how to benefit them and their academic lives the best way I can. 
    Open educational resources are free resources that are available to all students, parents, and teachers. These resources are great for low-income families and schools. OERs are a way to allow some amount of equity among all U.S. grade school students. This article talks about the pros and cons of OERs. https://onlinelearningconsortium.org/impact-of-open-educational-resources/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwk6SwBhDPARIsAJ59Gwfp6AA5vcG3heA-ZtGfua4mqvIaNLA9rl9cetfmR9UcTlWjdNZ4H0oaAnE2EALw_wcB
    Assignment 4 was definitely the most difficult assignment we had so far in this class. I do think some of the difficulty was made up in my own head. Before I even started the assignment, I started to stress about the different things I had to do for it. When I actually did the assignment, I was able to get it done, and recording the presentation was what gave me the most issues. One thing that I learned how to do for this assignment was to put animations between each slide. I liked how I was able to make the transitions between slides more interesting! For the next assignment, I will try to not worry about it too much before actually completing the assignment. I will do the assignment and be confident in my abilities.

      Hi, my name is Frankie Johnson and I am a freshman at Florida State University! This is my first semester at FSU. I transferred here from Tallahassee Community College last semester. I enjoyed my time at TCC but am excited to start my new adventure here at FSU as an Elementary Education major.      I think around second grade, my school started using iPads for different purposes. We didn't use them too much though, I remember going to the Media Center (Library) once a week where we were able to check out books but also able to have computer class where we worked on different computer projects. As I moved into middle school, we started ding more stuff with technology. In sixth grade, I had a class called "Study Skills" and one of the things we had to do each week was practice typing on a computer. At my middle school, 8th graders were loaned iPads and we did most of our assignments through there using "Google Classroom" and the other Google website such as

    I acquired the skill of putting a Google calendar onto your own website, I didn't know that you could do that. I made sure that the colors I used in my website looked well together. I also made sure that I only used two or three fronts on the whole website. I liked making hyperlinks for my pretend classroom website for different resources my pretend parents and students could use. In any future career, it will be helpful to know how to make a. website. Whether you're a teacher, a business owner, or an employee at a company, it is helpful to know how to make a website. https://kindergartenwmsjohnson.weebly.com/     I don't use AI tools that often. I think they are interesting and can see how they would be helpful for a teacher and many other careers. I also understand why people don't like them because they lack the special touch of a human. It can also cause humans to have a lack of knowledge for whatever they're doing because they're letting AI do the work

     I think what I would focus on the most in my classroom regarding copyright and fair use topics is the ethics behind it. Why is it important to follow the rules behind copyright and fair use? I hope that this could help my students understand the actual reasoning behind following these rules instead of just following the rules because I said so. I have learned that citing your sources sometimes isn't enough when using someone else's creation. I am definitely interested in how we will be able to detect plagiarism going forward as technology gets more and more advanced and students get more tech savvy.      In my future classroom, I hope I will be able to implement solutions that will help increase productivity. When I was in grade school, it felt like my teachers gave us homework all the time. My class will not be assigned homework. While you're at school you will work hard on the work that is assigned. As long as you put your time to good use, you will be able to finish
