Blog #7

At my high school, there was a page on the school website for the students and teachers to communicate and highlight key information. It was used mostly during the pandemic with online classes. It currently has things like a picture of the teacher and prior experience they have in their field, as well as their email information. It includes what classes they teach. This page also used to have more information about the classes and links to resources, but they recently updated their website. This is a helpful way to connect with students and parents and make sure information is accessible.  https://www.somersetcollegeprep.org/staff

When I become a teacher, I will use technology such as Canva to create interactive resources for my classroom. I may also use AI and Pinterest to help generate some ideas for my lesson plans and projects for my class. I will also use the skills I have learned this past week to create a class webpage and have a calendar with due dates, tests, and class activities. These should help make my professional responsibilities be completed in an effective and efficient manner.

I enjoyed working on this assignment with my peers. Canvas was definitely more intricate to navigate than other sources we have used in the class so far. I wasn't a fan of not being able to change the block colors to my liking and having to watch videos on YouTube to make the page visually pleasing. But besides the little technical issues, it was easy to navigate once you had a grasp on the tools. I will now admire any teachers that have pretty canvas pages, because it takes a lot of time and effort to make it perfect. I prefer Google Classroom over Canvas as that is so much easier to understand and navigate quickly, and has many options for colorful flare and cute pages.
