 I have learned a variety of new skills when working on Assignment #5. The first skill I learned was what an Action Button was and how it is used. I have never used such a tool when creating a PowerPoint, so it was interesting to see how I could incorporate that into the presentation. Another skill I learned was how to add sound to my animations and transitions. I found this tool to be very a entertaining addition to my presentation. So far I enjoy the creative freeness I have for this assignment. I am also enjoying creating the questions for this assignment, as it also texts my knowledge on Disney Trivia. One thing I can tell that I am not going to enjoy is how time consuming the slide creations are going to take. However, I know it is going to turn out great and a fun experience for the people who dare to test their Disney knowledge. 

   If I were to become a 10th grade Intro to Law teacher I would use data collection tools for one specific reason. I would first use a survey as an indicator of my students knowledge of basic material within the first week of school, just to see where my students are and how I can proceed with what is taught. This survey would benefit both me and students, because I would then resend the same survey towards the end of the year to gauge how much my students have learned in my class. I would be able to compile quantitative and qualitative data that I can compare over my years of teaching. Since my current career path is to become an attorney, I could use data collection tools as a way to survey my clients' satisfactory level of my representation. I would ask every client to fill out the survey and receive feedback on my services. I could compile each response and compare over time to see my strengths and weaknesses. I could be able to post the positive responses to my website as testimony to my professionalism. 

   One technology skill I would like to learn next is how to use Excel Spreadsheet Shortcuts to quickly equate numbers. 

S: The specific goal that I want to achieve is to learn the formulas to insert into an Excel Spreadsheet to help compute numbers from numerous cells. 

M: I would ask professionals or tech savy people to help teach me what the skill is. To then eventually retain the skill so I could use it for my future career path. 

A: This goal yet simple can be very helpful in the long run if I end up owning my own law firm and have to compute numbers in a spreadsheet for my firm. 

R: I see myself retaining the information well and making sure that I continue the skill throughout my schooling. 

T: I hope to have mastered this skill by Law School. While that is a long time to complete such a simple goal, I want to give myself ample time to practice the skill. 

Overall I can see myself utilizing this skill anyway possible for research, legal studies, and career specific handlings. I think if I approach this goal with the correct/knowledgeable people, I will be able to reach my goal correctly.

      In this class, I want to learn how to utilize a variety of different online tools. I am looking forward to creating and designing numerous assignments on Microsoft applications as well as other websites like Canva, Padlet, and Blogger. While I am not currently planning on becoming a teacher, using these resources will be extremely helpful in Law School. As an aspiring attorney, knowing how to work on Microsoft processing systems can definitely expose me to a more efficient way to write memos, briefs, pleadings, and contracts.      My prior experience using technology in an educational setting is diverse across numerous operating platforms. My first experience with technology in the classroom was using Microsoft Word and PowerPoint in middle school. I mostly used Microsoft Word for homework assignments, which required me to write about the topics discussed in class. I also used Microsoft PowerPoint for the purposes of presenting group projects for a va...

  When working on the Web Design assignment, I acquired the new skill of building a website using Weebly. I had created websites using other platforms before, so creating a website on Weebly allowed for me to broaden my horizons in being familiar with website platforms. I used the principles of CRAP all throughout my wesbite. When relating contrast to my web design, it can be seen that the numerous background colors and types complement the text size, color, and shapes. For repetition, I repeated the same title font, size, and color for every subsection of my pages, as well as for my body text. I aligned all of my pictures, text, and graphics to the best of my ability to where everything was evenly spread out. The same sentiment goes for proximity, in regard to allowing the web design outline to help guide me on how to properly space out my sections for each page. In total, having the web design outline helped me in providing a professional and neat look for all the elements of CRA...

     My experience with blogging for this class has been extremely positive! I like that I get to reflect on the prior week's happenings. I also like that I get to just ramble on by responding to the prompts, which allows me to just word vomit without speaking. I also enjoy that we have a class blog where I can read other student's blog posts and get to read their thoughts and feelings. One thing I do not fully enjoy is the time it takes me to complete the blogs, since I have so much to write, it takes me longer than it probably should. I have learned the importance of reflection during this blogging process. I have only blogged once during middle school, which I found enjoyable. However, I never understood why until this class, as it allows for me to reflect on what we are covering in class in a manner other than taking a written assignment to present my knowledge of the topic.       When talking about artificial intelligence in education, I think tha...
