   I have learned how to use navigation buttons to make PowerPoints more interactive for the viewer. This assignment was relatively easy, one thing I found more annoying than difficult was having to repeat the same step for each slide. It took at least ten minutes to just add the "home" navigation button to each slide. If I did the project again, I could probably make it a little more detailed, I made my project fairly simple. This was a cool assignment to do. I remember being a student in grade school and wondering how my teachers were able to make their PowerPoints do special things, now I know how they did it! (Below are a few of my slides from my project.)



    I could use data collection tools to gather a variety of information from my students and the parents of my students. Depending on the age of my students, that would also depend on how I could use data collection tools on them. Kindergarteners would most likely not be able to do surveys but I think this would be a great tool for third graders and up. If I end up teaching kindergarten, I could ask parents to take the survey for them, the survey could ask questions such as "How many people are living in your home?" or "What is your child's most difficult subject?"

    I would like to learn how to use Canva even more. When we learned how to use Canva in class, I learned how to do the very basics. I think Canva could be very useful in my future classroom, I just need to have a better understanding of how to use it. To achieve this goal, after I finish taking this course, I might continue to use Canva and make different products for my pretend classroom.

      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
